Observe Antistatic Precautions
This product contains electronic components that can easily be damaged by
small amounts of static electricity. To avoid damage, follow these guidelines:
- Store adapters in their conductive plastic bags until you are ready to
install them.
- If possible, work in a static-free area.
- Handle adapters only by the edges. Do not touch electronic components or
electrical traces. We strongly recommend that you use a grounding wrist
strap that is connected to the metallic chassis of the computer. If you
do not have a wrist strap, touch the chassis before handling adapters,
and frequently or continuously thereafter, to equalize any static charge.
