C-1 ESD Safety Guidelines
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent dam-
age to your system, it is important to handle it very carefully. he following measures
are generally sufcient 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 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
• Always disconnect power cables before installing or removing any components
from the computer, including the BPN-SAS-826TQ backplane.
• Disconnect the power cable before installing or removing any cables from the
BPN-SAS-826TQ backplane.
• Make sure that the SAS-826TQ backplane is securely and properly installed on
the motherboard to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.
