cardboard carton which includes the CardModule, rear connection plate and mounting
screws.
Packaging
The shipping carton and packaging materials provide protection for the module during
transit. Please retain the shipping cartons in case subsequent shipping of the product
becomes necessary. Do not remove the module f rom its protective static bag unless

Preventing ESD Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage occurs when electronic assemblies or the
components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failure.
Do not handle the module unless using an ESD-preventative wrist strap and ensure that
it makes good skin contact. Connect the strap to any solid grounding source such as any
exposed metal on the rack chassis or any other unpainted metal surface.
Caution
Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should
be between 1 and 10 Megohms.
