Follow these precautions to prevent damage to the multiplexer:

  • Keep the card in or on its anti-static packaging until you install it, or use a static-free workstation.

  • Use a grounding wrist strap when handling the interface card to channel static charges safely to ground.

  • Avoid working on a carpet. Reduce unnecessary movements. These precautions will help prevent static buildup that might damage the card.

  • Handle the card only by its non-connector edges or faceplate (bulkhead).

  • Store interface cards and device adapters in their original shipping containers or equivalent anti-static packaging. The storage area should be clean, dry, and free of corrosive elements.

  • After removing the card from the anti-static plastic bag, place it on a clean, anti-static work surface. (The bag is acceptable for this purpose if there is not a special work area set aside.)
