Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact. Avoid contact between equipment and clothing. Place a removed card component side up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag. Do not remove the wrist or ankle strap until the installation is complete. Caution To avoid damaging the equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap.
Warning Be sure the power cable is disconnected before proceeding.
