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.
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 adapter against your clothing. The wrist strap protects components from
ESD on the body only.
Handle the adapter by its bracket or edges only. Avoid touching the printed circuit board or the
connectors.
Put the adapter down only on an antistatic surface such as the bag supplied in your kit.
If you are returning the adapter to Xilinx Product Support, place it back in its antistatic bag
immediately.
If a wrist strap is not available, ground yourself by touching the metal chassis before handling
the adapter or any other part of the computer/server.
