ATTENTION: The card uses CMOS
technology, which is highly sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD may be present
whenever you are handling the card. Handling a
card without any EDS protection can cause internal
circuit damage that may not be apparent during
installation or initial use.
Take these precautions to guard against
electrostatic damage:
•
Before handling the card, be sure to touch a
grounded object such as a PC’s metal chassis
to discharge any built-up static charge.
•
Avoid touching the backplane connector or
interface connector pins.
•
When the card is not in use, store it in the
anti-static bag in which it was shipped.
Important: Remember, a computer with ac
power disconnected is not a
grounded object.
