Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are
improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and processor

interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the
metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.
