on a flat antistatic work surface; see Removing a CPM-a on page 193.
Step 3. Remove the new CF card from the packaging and place it on a flat anti-static work

ii. Use a pair of pliers or tweezers to pull the CF card out of the slot (Key 2 on
Figure 72). (The card is intentionally difficult to remove.)
