Your system came with the AOC-S200G-B1C add-on card which is designed as a part of
an integrated solution. We do not recommend that any part of your system components be
removed and re-installed. However, if you do need to remove or re-install 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 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.
