Devices
Attention:
Static
electricity
can
damage
this
device
and
your
system
unit.
To
avoid
damage,
keep
this
device
in
its
anti-static
protective
bag
until
you
are
ready
to
install
it.
To
reduce
the
possibility
of
electrostatic
discharge,
follow
the
precautions
listed
below:
v
Limit
your
movement.
Movement
can
cause
static
electricity
to
build
up
around
you.
v
Handle
the
device
carefully,
holding
it
by
its
edges
or
its
frame.
v
Do
not
touch
solder
joints,
pins,
or
exposed
printed
circuitry.
v
Do
not
leave
the
device
where
others
can
handle
and
possibly
damage
the
device.
v
While
the
device
is
still
in
its
anti-static
package,
touch
it
to
an
unpainted
metal
part
of
the
system
unit
for
at
least
two
seconds.
(This
drains
static
electricity
from
the
package
and
from
your
body.)
v
Remove
the
device
from
its
package
and
install
it
directly
into
your
system
unit
without
setting
it
down.
If
it
is
necessary
to
set
the
device
down,
place
it
on
its
static-protective
package.
(If
your
device
is
an
adapter,
place
it
component-side
up.)
Do
not
place
the
device
on
your
system
unit
cover
or
on
a
metal
table.
v
Take
additional
care
when
handling
devices
during
cold
weather,
as
heating
reduces
indoor
humidity
and
increases
static
electricity.
