Handling Static-Sensitive Devices
Components for your ARTIC186 8-Port PCI Adapter can be damaged by static discharges. To prevent
this damage, your ARTIC186 8-Port PCI Adapter is wrapped in an anti-static bag. Observe the following
precautions when handling the adapter:
Keep the adapter in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
Make the least possible movement with your body to minimize the electrostatic charges created by
contact with clothing fibers, carpets, and furniture.
If possible, keep one hand on the computer chassis when you are inserting or removing an adapter.
Always turn the computer off before removing an adapter from the system unit.
Do not touch the printed circuit, connector pins, or components. Where possible, hold the adapter by
its plastic end pieces or by its edges, but do not touch the metal edge connectors.
Do not place the adapter on the system unit cover or on a metal table. The cover and metal table
increase the risk of damage because they make a discharge path from your body through the adapter.
