LaCie FireWire 800 PCI Card
User’s Manual
Health and Safety Precautions
Only qualified persons are authorized to carry out maintenance on this device.
• Read this User's Guide carefully, and follow the correct procedure when setting up the device.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify your PCI card. Never insert any metallic object into the circuitry to avoid any risk
of electrical shock, fire, short-circuiting or dangerous emissions. Your PCI card contains no user-serviceable parts. If it appears
to be malfunctioning, have it inspected by a qualified LaCie Technical Support representative.
• Never expose your device to rain, or use it near water, or in damp or wet conditions. Never place objects containing
liquids on the PCI card, as they may spill onto its circuitry. Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire
or personal injury.
• Make sure that the computer and PCI card are electrically grounded. If the devices are not grounded, there is an increased
risk of electrical shock.
• Do not expose the PCI card to temperatures outside the range of 5° C to 45° C (41° F to 104° F). Doing so may damage
the card or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your card near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through a
window). Inversely, placing your card in an environment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit.
