Handling Adapter Cards
STATIC WARNING:
Ensure that cards and chips are not damaged by static that builds up
on your body.
• If you have an earthing wristband, put it on before touching any
card or chip (see page 31).
• Hold an adapter card by the glass-fibre edges or by the mounting
bracket connected to the card as shown below.
• Avoid touching either the electrical components that are mounted
on the card or the gold edge connector.
The following instructions tell you how to fit or remove cards in a
particular slot but the principles apply to any vacant slot.
Fitting a Card
Before you fit an adapter card into the computer, make sure you have
set any switches or jumpers on the card. The manufacturer's
documentation accompanying the card should tell you how to do this.
