whats the best way to transport a PCI card if you dont have any anti-static bags?

Answer 1

Use aluminum foil. Before the plastic anti-static bag became common place, sensitive CMOS and NMOS devices were sold wrapped in thin aluminum foil.

The worst thing you can do is to wrap in normal plastic or paper. Those materials will rub against each other and with the PCI card and generate static electricity. Because it is non-conductive, it has no where else to go but build up.

One caviat is, if you decide to wrap it in aluminum foil, make sure there is NO BATTERY of any kind on the PCI board. If so, anti-static bag is the only way to go.

Yes, today's devices are more resiliant than the older ones. But, given enough buildup, static energy can kill the circuit.

Answer 2

With your hands..


Touch a radiator or something thats earthed..
Then hold the card by its edges... AFTER! let go! lol

Most cards nowadays can handle SC so the band aint used..


Anyways..

1 - Earth yaself
2 - Hold by edges so u dont transfer any charge.

2.a - If u dont has a static bag, A nornal jiffy bad will do.
It really is hard to break todays chips etc..if your teacher bitches on about it... .. They dont know what they are talking about.

Yes it can kill chips.
But normal movment etc is fine,

U shud be good ....

--Edit
As below.. \/ Tbh long trips u gonna need a antistatic.. If its walk able.. Just grab it and walk.

U moroon!

Answer 3

Your hands. I don't always use them. But be sure not to touch other metals while holding them or throw them onto other conductors. And yes, carpet could be bad for them.

Basically, just handle it with care. I've had a few stuck in my car with no bags and they worked great. It depends on how you actually take care of them.

Answer 4

any material that electricty can't be transferred in, like paper bag or plastic bag, It is simple
