3.1.Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

IMPORTANT INFO: During installation or removal, always hold your card by the anti-static gripping pad.

Static electricity is an electric charge caused by an imbalance of electrons on the surface of a material. When you touch an object and are shocked, this is the transfer of the static charge or the balancing of your charge to that of the object. This exchange is called Electrostatic Discharge or ESD.

ESD can cause two different types of damage to computers and peripherals: (1) Catastrophic, which is the complete loss of de- vice functionality, and (2) Latent Defect, where the device is only partially effected, and the device loses part of its productivity and longevity.

Because we cannot eliminate the generation of static electricity, it is extremely important to follow the proper steps to ground yourself before handling your LaCie FireWire 800 PCI Card or touching any internal component of your computer. This can be accomplished by proper grounding in conjunction with the use of ESD safe mats, wrist or shoe straps. Consult your computer supply specialist for more details on the correct ESD dissipative device to fit your needs.
