Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to any product, add-in 
modules or stand alone units, containing electronic components.  Always 
observe the following precautions when installing or handling these kinds of 
products. 
 

1. Do not remove unit from its protective packaging until ready to install. 

2. Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or 

component.  If the wrist strap is not available, maintain grounded contact with 
the system unit throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection. 

3. Hold the units by the edges; do not touch the electronic components or gold 

connectors. 

4. 

After removal, always place the boards on a grounded, static-free surface, 

ESD pad or in a proper ESD bag.  Do not slide the modules or stand alone 
units over any surface. 

 

 

WARNING!  Integrated circuits and fiber optic components 
are extremely susceptible to electrostatic discharge damage.  
Do not handle these components directly unless you are a 
qualified service technician and use tools and techniques that 
conform to accepted industry practices.
