CAUTION! You must always use an ESD strap or other antistatic device when handling hardware.
Safety Instructions
Safety Information
To ensure your personal safety and the safety of your equipment:
• Keep your work area and the computer/server clean and clear of debris.
• Before opening the computer/system cover, unplug the power cord.
Electrostatic Discharge Caution
Electrostatic discharge (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 card against your clothing. The wrist strap protects components from ESD
on the body only.
• Handle the card by its bracket or edges only. Avoid touching the printed circuit board or the
connectors.
• Put the card down only on an antistatic surface such as the bag supplied in your kit.
• If you are returning the card to Xilinx Product Support, place it back in its antistatic bag
immediately.
