User Manual

Warning:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage several

components on the board. To avoid such damage in

handling the board, take the following precautions:

Bring the card and everything that contacts it to ground

potential by providing a conductive surface and

discharge paths. As a minimum, observe these

precautions:

• Disconnect all power and signal sources.

• Place the card on a grounded conductive work surface.

• Ground yourself via a grounding wrist strap or by holding a grounded

object.

• Ground any tool that will contact the card.

Due to the reduced length of the PCI EXPRESS

bus connector and the

resulting lack of mechanical stability, we strongly advise against transporting

the card(s) installed in a computer, unless its chassis or case provides a

dedicated support to keep the card securely in place in order to avoid physical

damage.
