24 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE 3C359B NIC
5 Reduce any static electricity on your body.
Each NIC is packed in an antistatic container to protect it
during shipment. To avoid damaging any static-sensitive
components after removal from the container, be sure to
reduce any static electricity on your body.
One way to reduce static electricity is to touch an
unpainted part of the computer’s metal chassis. You can
maintain grounding by wearing an antistatic wrist strap
attached to the chassis.
6 Verify that your tools are nonconducting or insulated.
Your tools should include a flat-head screwdriver and a
Phillips-head screwdriver. To avoid permanent damage to
the NIC or other computer circuitry, use only insulated or
nonconducting tools.
