Discharge ESD A 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 e 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 If a wrist strap is not available ground yourself by touching the metal chassis before handling the controller or any other part of the computer e Avoid touching the controller against your clothing The wrist strap protects components from ESD on the body only e Handle the controller by its bracket or edges only Avoid touching the printed circuit board or the connectors e Put the controller down only on an antistatic surface such as the bag supplied in your kit e Ifyou are returning the controller to Adaptec put it back in its antistatic bag immediately Technical Specifications In this appendix Emoronmenal SPO CICA IONS oerieriri i nkore ENI EA EEES DG Power Re quitter eienn eaaa RN Ei C rrent Reguit NEsT Appendix H Technical Specifications e 139 Environmental Specifications Note With a Battery Backup Unit BBU the ambient temperature should not exceed 40 C Ambient temperature without forced airflow O C to 40 C Ambient temperature with forced airflow 0 C to 55 C Relative humidity 10
