Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 Initial Inspection
Before starting to install the PCM-3753I, make sure there is no
visible damage on the card. We carefully inspected the card both
mechanically and electrically before shipment. It should be free of marks
and in perfect order on receipt.
As you unpack the PCM-3753I, check it for signs of shipping
damage (damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.). If it is damaged or fails to
meet its specifications, notify our service department or your local sales
representative immediately. Also, call the carrier immediately and retain
the shipping carton and packing materials for inspection by the carrier.
We will then make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.
2.2 Unpacking
The PCM-3753I contains components that are sensitive and
vulnerable to static electricity. Discharge any static electricity on your
body to ground by touching the back of the system unit (grounded metal)
before you touch the board.
Remove the PCM-3753I card from its protective packaging by grasping
the card's rear panel. Handle the card only by its edges to avoid static dis-
charge 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 its protection.
You should also avoid contact with materials that hold static electricity
such as plastic, vinyl and styrofoam.
