Safety Information and Technical Speciﬁcations
1. Safety Guidelines
To avoid personal injury and property damage, please carefully
follow all the safety steps listed below when accessing your systemor handling the components:

ESD Safety Guidelines
Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to your system, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures
are generally sufﬁcient to protect your equipment from ESD.
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing a component from the antistaticbag.
• Handle the RAID card by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral
chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the card and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

General Safety Guidelines• Always disconnect power cables before installing or removing any components
from the computer, including the SAS 813TQ Backplane.
• Disconnect the power cable before installing or removing any cable from theSAS 813TQ Backplane.
• Make sure that the SAS 813TQ Backplane is securely and properly installedon the motherboard to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.

An Important Note to the User
• All images and layouts shown in this user's guide are based upon the latest
PCB Revision available at the time of publishing. The card you've received
may or may not look exactly the same as the graphics shown in this manual.
