Installation Precautions
Installation Precautions
Taking the precautions described in this section should help you avoid injury or
damage to your equipment.
Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits on your multiport
cards.
To prevent such damage from occurring, observe the following precautions during
board unpacking and installation.
• Handle circuit cards only by their non-conducting edges once you have
removed them from their protective antistatic bags.
• Stand on a static-dissipative mat.
• Wear a grounding strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is
discharged from your body to the ground.
• Install circuit cards as soon as you remove them from their protective anti-static
packaging.
• Do not leave cards exposed after you unpack them.
• If you must put a card down, place it on anti-static packaging or on a rubber
mat.
Unpacking Vanguard Hardware
Open the packing boxes and remove their contents. When removing the multiport
card (and rear I/O card, if applicable), leave the card in its anti-static bag. Check to
ensure that you have all of the required parts, as listed in Table 5 on page 4.
