Handling the A5150A Adapter
The host bus adapter is packaged with an ESD kit, which contains
materials to prevent damage from static electricity during installation.
CAUTION The adapter is highly susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge
during installation and routine maintenance procedures. Do not handle
circuit boards without wearing a wrist strap fastened to a good earth
ground or to the system chassis.
While you are installing the A5150A adapter, please follow these
precautions:
✓ Keep the adapter in its shielded antistatic bag until you are ready to
install it.
✓ Use a wrist strap or other ESD protection. Wrap the strap around
your wrist and attach the copper end to a metal portion of the
computer frame.
✓ Avoid working in carpeted areas.
✓ Gently place the adapter, printed circuit board (PCB) side down, on
an antistatic work surface pad.
✓ Hold the adapter only by its sides or cover plate. Do not touch any
components on the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA).
✓ Do not use any test equipment to check the components on the PCB.
✓ Do not bump, jar, or drop the adapter. Do not place other objects on
top of the adapter.
✓ Transport the adapter in its shielded bag in an appropriate shipping
container. Do not put other materials in the bag with the adapter.
