Also follow these static electricity precautions:

Avoid static-causing surfaces such as plastic and packing foam in your work area.

Remove the parts from their antistatic bags or containers only when you are ready to use them. Do not lay parts on the outside of an antistatic bag or container because only the inside provides antistatic protection.

Always hold cards by their edges and their metal mounting brackets. Avoid touching components on the cards and the edge connectors that connect to expansion slots. Never slide cards or other parts over any surface.
