Electrostatic Discharge Caution

CAUTION! ESD can damage electronic components when they are improperly handled, and can result in total

or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components.

To prevent ESD damage:

• Use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes skin contact. Connect the equipment

end of the strap to an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.

• Avoid touching the adapter against your clothing. The wrist strap protects components from

ESD on the body only.

• Handle the adapter by its bracket or edges only. Avoid touching the printed circuit board or

the connectors.

• Put the adapter down only on an antistatic surface such as the bag supplied in your kit.

• If you are returning the adapter to Xilinx Product Support, place it back in its antistatic bag

immediately.
