Warning

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause immediate or latent damage to Integrated Circuits. In order to minimize ESD you should wear an antistatic wrist strap whose lead has been clipped onto the metal chassis of the computer or, at the very least, touch the computer's chassis before you handle the fax card, in order to discharge any static electricity you may be carrying.
