Safety Information
To ensure your personal safety and the safety of your equipment:
Keep your work area and the computer clean and clear of debris.
Before opening the system cabinet, unplug the power cord.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Caution: ESD can damage electronic components when they are improperly handled, and
can result in total or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when
removing and replacing components.
To p re ven t E SD d ama ge :
Use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes skin contact. Connect the
equipment end of the strap to an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
If a wrist strap is not available, ground yourself by touching the metal chassis before
handling the controller or any other part of the computer.
Avoid touching the controller against your clothing. The wrist strap protects components
from ESD on the body only.
Handle the controller by its bracket or edges only. Avoid touching the printed circuit board
or the connectors.
Put the controller down only on an antistatic surface such as the bag supplied in your kit.
If you are returning the controller to Adaptec, put it back in its antistatic bag immediately.
