Appendix A: Safety Information
To ensure your personal safety and the safety of your equipment:
•
Keep your work area and the computer clean and clear of debris.
•
Before opening the system cabinet, unplug the power cord.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Caution: ESD can damage electronic components when they are improperly handled, and can
result in total or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when
removing and replacing components.
To prevent ESD damage:
•
Use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes skin contact. Connect the
equipment end of the strap to an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
•
Avoid touching the expander against your clothing. The wrist strap protects
components from ESD on the body only.
•
Handle the expander by its bracket or edges only. Avoid touching the printed circuit
board or the connectors.
•
Put the expander down only on an anti-static surface such as the bag supplied in
your kit.
•
If you are returning the expander to Intel
static bag immediately.
If a wrist strap is not available, ground yourself by touching the metal chassis before
handling the expander or any other part of the computer.
