2-2 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE 3C359 NIC
5 Reduce any static electricity on your body.
Each NIC is packed in an antistatic container to protect it
during shipment. To avoid damaging any static-sensitive
components after removal from the container, be sure to
reduce any static electricity on your body.
One way to reduce static electricity is to touch an unpainted
part of the computer’s metal chassis. You can maintain
grounding by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to
the chassis.
6 Verify that your tools are nonconducting or insulated.
Your tools should include a flat-head screwdriver and a
Phillips-head screwdriver. To avoid permanent damage to
the NIC or other computer circuitry, use only insulated or
nonconducting tools.
