3.1 Static-Sensitive Devices

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.
