Read the following information carefully before attempting to install
DigiSuite cards in your computer system.
Avoid costly damage
Static electricity from your body can damage your DigiSuite cards or
your computer. Although you may not notice it, static electricity is
generated every time you move. It's often too small to cause a spark, but
it can still cause damage to sensitive electronic components or at least
reduce their lifespan.
To avoid damage to your computer, please read the following precautions
before opening it:
q
Do not remove your DigiSuite cards from their antistatic bags until
you are ready to install them. Before removing the cards, place the
packages within easy reach of the area where you intend to perform
the installation.
q
Try to work in an area where the relative humidity is at least 50%.
q
Do not wear wool or polyester clothing. These fabrics tend to
generate more static electricity than cotton, which is best for this
kind of work.
q
Turn off the power switches on your computer and its peripherals.
q
Once you have opened your computer, drain static electricity from
your body by touching a gray metal part on your computer chassis
before you install or remove any parts of your system. If you have a
grounding wrist strap, use it while handling and installing any
components in your computer.
