Adaptec RAID Installation Guide
To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines:
Always 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
chassis surface.
If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the
metal chassis.
When installing or removing a component, use any available
ejector levers or captive installation screws to properly seat the
bus connectors in the backplane or card slot. These devices
prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the
system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are properly
seated.
Handle adapter cards by available handles or edges only.
Avoid touching the printed circuit boards or connectors.
Avoid contact between printed circuit boards and clothing. The
wrist strap only protects components from ESD voltages on the
body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic
surface or in an approved antistatic container.
If you plan to return the component to Adaptec, immediately
place it in a static-shielding container.
