PCL-730 User Manual 6
2.1 Installation
This chapter gives users a package item checklist, proper instructions about unpack-
ing and step-by-step procedures for both driver and card installation.
2.2 Initial Inspection
We carefully inspected the PCL-730 both mechanically and electrically before ship-
ment. It should be free of marks and in perfect order on receipt.
As you unpack the PCL-730, check it for signs of shipping damage (damaged box,
scratches, dents, etc.). If it is damaged or fails to meet specifications, notify our ser-
vice department or your local sales representative immediately. Also, call the carrier
immediately and retain the shipping carton and packing material for inspection by the
carrier. We will then make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.
Discharge any static electricity on your body before you touch the board by touching
the back of the system unit (grounded metal).
Remove the PCL-730 card from its protective packaging by grasping the rear metal
panel. Handle the card only by its edges to avoid static electric discharge which could
damage its integrated circuits. Keep the antistatic package. Whenever you remove
the card from the PC, please store the card in this package for protection.
You should also avoid contact with materials that hold static electricity such as plas-
tic, vinyl and styrofoam.
