Installing Hardware

CAUTION!

To minimize the risk of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage, use a workstation anti-static mat and an ESD wrist strap.

Leave the adapter in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it in the server.

Hold the adapter by the edge of the PCB or mounting bracket, not the connectors.

Place the adapter on a properly grounded antistatic work surface pad when it is out of its protective anti-static bag.
