Safety Factors ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Precautions To avoid damaging computer components and accessories when installing or removing the 3ware RAID controller, follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions: When your computer case is open and its internal parts are exposed, do not touch any internal part unnecessarily. Always wear a grounded strap or work on an ESD-protective mat. Do not remove the 3ware RAID controller from its protective bag until you are properly grounded. Handle the 3ware RAID controller by its edges or by the black rail and metal bracket at its two ends. Do not touch any pin, contact, lead or component on the 3ware RAID controller. Things to Watch Out For Be careful when installing the 3ware RAID controller into your system. Excessive force can damage the board or your system. Be sure the board is aligned with its slot on the motherboard before installing. Do not flex the board excessively. Interface cable connectors must be mated carefully with the connectors in the controller.The connectors provided are keyed to prevent you from inserting them upside-down. Interface cables are fragile and must not be crimped or pinched. Ensure that they do not impede the flow of cooling air from fans or heat sinks in the system case. www.3ware.com 11
