The card contains sensitive electric components, which can be easily
damaged by static electricity, so the card should be left in its original packing
until it is installed.
Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat. The
operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband, grounded at the same
point as the anti-static mat.
Inspect the card carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause
damage to your card. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages on
the card before proceeding.

DO NOT APPLY POWER TO YOUR SYSTEM IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED
