Handling Static Sensitive Devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage this device and your system unit. To avoid damage, keep this device in its static protective bag until you are ready to To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, follow the precautions list below:

Ÿ	Limit your movement. Movement can cause			static	electricity to build up around
	you.
Ÿ	Handle	the device	carefully, holding	it by its edges or its frame.
Ÿ	Do not	touch solder	joints, pins, or	exposed	printed circuitry.

ŸDo not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.

Ÿ While the device is still	in	its anti-static		package, touch it to an unpainted
part of the system unit	for	at	least two	seconds. (This drains static electr
from the package and from	your		body.)

ŸRemove the device from its package and install it directly into your system u without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place

static-protective	package. (If	your device	is an	adapter,	place	it	component-
up.) Do not place	the device	on your system	unit	cover or	on a	metal	table.

ŸTake additional care when handling devices during cold weather, as heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
