Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware

Pre-Installation Checklist

Before installing the adapter card, perform the following procedure:

1. Verify that your system is using the latest BIOS.

2. If your system is active, shut it down.

3. When the system shutdown is complete, power OFF and unplug the

power cord.

4. Holding the adapter card by the edges, remove it from its shipping

package and place it on an antistatic surface.

5. Check the adapter for visible signs of damage, particularly on the

card’s edge connector.

Caution

Do not install a damaged adapter. If the adapter is damaged, report
it to Allied Telesis. See “Contacting Allied Telesis” on page 17.
