Before You Start
Avoid Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can damage the ARMC/2 card and other system
components. Keep your ARMC/2 card in its anti-static bag until it is to be installed.
Avoid contact with any component or connector on any adapter card, printed circuit
board, or memory module. Handle these components by the mounting bracket.
Perform all unpacking and installation procedures on a ground-connected anti-static mat.
Wear an anti-static wristband grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat. You can
also use a sheet of conductive aluminum foil grounded through a one megaohm resistor
instead of the anti-static mat. Similarly, a strip of conductive aluminum foil wrapped
around the wrist and grounded through a one megaohm resistor serves the same purpose
as a wristband.
