Handling the Card
Take these precautions to guard against ESD damage:
• Before handling the card, be sure to wear the provided static strap and
touch a grounding object to discharge any built-up static charge.
• Avoid touching the backplane connector or interface connector pins on
the 1784-PKTx card.
• If the card is not in use, store it in the anti-static, plastic-molded
clamshell in which it was shipped.
!
ATTENTION: The 1784-PKTx card uses CMOS
technology, which is highly sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD). ESD may be present whenever you
are handling the card. Handling the card without any
ESD protection can cause internal circuit damage that
may not be apparent during installation or initial use.
A grounding wrist strap has been shipped with the
1784-PKTx card. It is to be worn during the installation
procedure. Instructions for use of the strap are found on
the back of its package.
