Use caution when removing the

PCI-18

computer plug-in card from the special static

shielding bag that it is packed in. This board is susceptible to damage and degradation by
static discharges. Do not remove the board from this static protection until you are ready
to install it into the computer. Touch the computer chassis to equalize the static charge
between yourself and the computer chassis before handling the computer board.

Following these steps is extremely important to prevent damage to the computer interface
card.

Instrutech Corporation does not warranty the

PCI-18

computer card from damage

caused by improper handling.
