• Touch a grounded metal object before removing a component from the antistatic
bag.
• Handle the backplane 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.
C-2 General Safety Guidelines
