Handling Precautions; Manual Overview - Matrox Supersight Installation And Hardware Reference

Handling precautions

The Matrox Supersight unit and its components are sensitive to static electricity
and surges. To avoid damaging the unit, follow these precautions.
• Be sure to turn off the power to the unit and all peripherals, and disconnect all
power cords, before adding or removing devices (for example, before removing or
adding boards).
• Do not touch the heat sinks while the unit is operating; they might be very hot.
• Drain static electricity from your body by touching a metal fixture (or ground)
before touching the unit.
• Wear a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Avoid letting your clothing come in contact with the unit.
• Your Matrox Supersight is not designed to be placed on its side (vertically). Doing
so will obstruct venting.
Note that there are no user-serviceable parts inside your Matrox Supersight.
