Gateway E-1400 System Manual page 27

Avoid static-causing surfaces such as plastic and styrofoam in your work
area.
Remove the parts from their antistatic bags only when you are ready to
use them. Do not lay parts on the outside of antistatic bags since only
the inside of the bag provides antistatic protection.
Always hold cards by their edges and their metal mounting bracket. Avoid
touching components on the cards and the edge connectors that connect
to expansion slots.
Never slide cards or other parts over any surface.
