Safety Precaution
Do not remove your card from its protective bag until you are ready to install
it.
Always try to hold your card by its edges. Avoid touching any electronic
components on your card.
Static electricity can cause permanent damage to your card. To prevent such
a damage, you must ground yourself during the installation:
»
Use a grounding strap - a coiled wire with a clip at one end and an
elastic strap at the other. Wear the strap around your wrist and attach
the clip to any non-painted metal surface of your computer chassis.
»
If you do not have a grounding strap, touch any non-painted surface of
your computer chassis before you begin installation, and again every
minute or so until the installation is completed.
