❏
The appropriate Asanté card and Ethernet hardware for your
cabling:
Refer to Appendix B for detailed Ethernet specifications.
Observing the Safety Rules
Do not remove the network interface card from its anti-static bag
until you are ready to insert it into the expansion slot. The interface
cards are sensitive to static electricity and must be handled very care-
fully. Improper handling or installation can result in damage to your
card and/or your Macintosh.
Any damage you may cause to the computer or card will not be cov-
ered by the limited warranty.
Observe the following safety precautions during the installation:
❏
Consult your network administrator about the card installa-
tion before connecting to the network..
❏
Turn off the Macintosh and all peripherals connected to it.
❏
If you need to lay a Macintosh flat on its face, use an anti-
static mat.
❏
When installing the SE or SE/30 card, be extremely
careful not to touch any part of the exposed circuitry. Some
circuit components retain a high voltage charge long after the
power is disconnected.
