Handling Static-sensitive Components

Static electricity can damage electronic components. To avoid damage, keep an electronic component in its

anti-static bag until you are ready to use it.

To reduce the possibility of damage to an electronic component from electrostatic discharge, take the following

precautions:

• Wear a wrist strap to ground yourself while working with electronic components.

• Limit your movement. Movement can create static electricity around you.

• Hold the component by its edges or frame.

• Avoid touching solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.

• Do not place the component directly onto a metal surface.

• While the component is still in its anti-static bag, touch it to an unpainted metal part for at least two seconds

to discharge any static electricity from the package and from your body.

• Remove the component from its package and install it directly. If it is necessary to put the component down,

place it onto its anti-static bag.

• Take additional care when you handle components in air-conditioned rooms or during cold weather because

air conditioning and heating reduce indoor humidity and increase static electricity.

Installing a DA-PRP-HSR Expansion Module

NOTE The DA-PRP-HSR expansion module can only be installed in a DA-820 computer.

You can install up to three DA-PRP-HSR expansion modules in a DA-820 computer.

To install the DA-PRP-HSR, complete the following steps:

1. Turn off the DA-820 computer and disconnect it from the power source.

2. Loosen the screws on the rear of the DA-820 computer and remove the top cover.

3. Remove the slot cover from a PCI slot on the rear panel.

You can install the DA-PRP-HSR in any of the three PCI slots in the DA-820 computer.

The following figure indicates the PCI connectors on the system board.
