Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
!Caution: ESD can damage electronic components when they are improperly handled, and can result in total or intermittent failures. Always follow
removing and replacing components.
To prevent ESD damage:
●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.
