We carefully inspect our PCI/ PCI Express communication card mechanically and
electrically before shipping. It should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect
working condition on receipt.
As you unpack, check for any signs of
shipping damage (damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.). Should any damage is
found or it fail to meet specifications, please notify our service department or your
local sales representative immediately. Also the carrier should be notified. Retain the
shipping carton and packing material for further inspections by the carrier.
After inspection we will make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.
When you handle the communication card, remove it from its
protective packaging by grasping the rear metal panel. Keep the anti-vibration pack-
aging for further storage, as the card was removed from the PC.
Warning! Discharge your body’s static electric charge by touching the back of the
grounded chassis of the system unit (metal) before handling the board.
You should avoid contact with materials that hold a static charge such
as plastic, vinyl and styrofoam. Handle the board only by its edges to
avoid static damage to its integrated circuits. Avoid touching the
exposed circuit connectors. We also recommend that you use a
grounded wrist strap and place the card on a static dissipative mat
whenever you work with it.
