WARNING
WARNING -- ESD
ESD
Keep electronic circuit boards in Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) 
protective bags when not being handled. Use proper ESD 
procedures (including an ESD wrist strap) when handling circuit 
boards. Failure to comply may result in damage to equipment. 
When working with an electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive device, you 
should be grounded at all times. The easiest and most common way to provide 
this ground is to use an approved ESD wrist strap. The strap is secured to your 
wrist with a wire attached to the strap and clipped or taped to the chassis of the 
unit being worked on. Any static is dissipated through the wire to ground, 
greatly reducing the possibility of damage to the device. 
It is a good idea to touch the chassis with your finger before handling any 
electrostatic sensitive device. Any static electricity will be discharged to chassis 
ground and will not be transferred to the device. 
Always store devices (cards, other electronic components) in ESD protective 
bags when not being handled. 
Remove the protective shipping and packing material from the card. Ensure 
contact wedges and other shipping devices have been removed.

The Smart Trac DM6420 Multi I/O Card is PC/104 compatible, so it may be 
positioned as one of two PC/104 option cards at the very top of the Smart Trac 
card stack, just above the Ethernet card or another PC/104 option card.
