Handling components

The electronic circuits in your computer and the circuits on
Matrox Meteor are sensitive to static electricity and surges.
Improper handling can seriously damage the circuits. Be sure
to follow these precautions:
Drain static electricity from your body by touching a metal
fixture (or ground) before you touch any electronic
component.
Avoid letting your clothing come in contact with the circuit
boards or components.
Before you add or remove devices from your system, always
turn off the power to your computer and all peripherals
.
