Your system came with the AOC-i4S(M) add-on card to be used as a part of an integrated
solution. We do not recommend that any part of your system components be removed and
reinstalled. However, if you do need to remove or reinstall a system component, including
this add-on card, please follow the instructions below to ensure proper system setup. Also,
be sure to remove the power cord first before adding, removing, or changing any hardware
components to avoid damaging the system or components.
3.1 Major Components
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To avoid damaging your
add-on card, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally
sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Precautions
•
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the add-on card from the antistatic bag.
•
Handle the add-on card by its edges only; do not touch its components or peripheral chips.
•
Put the add-on card back into the antistatic bags when not in use.
•
For grounding purposes, make sure that your system chassis provides excellent conduc-
tivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners, and the add-on card.
Unpacking
The add-on card is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When unpacking
your component or system, make sure you are static protected.
Note: To avoid damaging your components and to ensure proper installation, always
connect the power cord last, and always unplug it before adding, removing, or chang-
ing any hardware components.
