ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Precautions
To avoid damaging computer components and accessories when
installing or removing the 3ware RAID controller, follow standard
electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions:
When your computer case is open and its internal parts are
exposed, do not touch any internal part unnecessarily.
Always wear a grounded strap or work on an ESD-protective
mat.
Do not remove the 3ware RAID controller from its protective
bag until you are properly grounded.
Handle the 3ware RAID controller by its edges or by the black
rail and metal bracket at its two ends.
Do not touch any pin, contact, lead or component on the 3ware
RAID controller.
Things to Watch Out For
Be careful when installing the 3ware RAID controller into your
system. Excessive force can damage the board or your system.
Be sure the board is aligned with its slot on the motherboard
before installing. Do not flex the board excessively.
Interface cable connectors must be mated carefully with the
connectors in the controller.The connectors provided are keyed
to prevent you from inserting them upside-down.
Interface cables are fragile and must not be crimped or pinched.
Ensure that they do not impede the flow of cooling air from
fans or heat sinks in the system case.
