Electrostatic Damage Electrostatic discharge can damage semiconductor devices inside this
module if you touch backplane connector pins. Guard against
electrostatic damage by observing the following precautions:
ATTENTION
Electrostatically Sensitive Components
•
Before handling the module, touch a grounded
object to rid yourself of electrostatic charge.
•
Handle the module from the front, away from the
