manuals

, for important safety and environmental specifications necessary when

setting up your device.

Unpacking the Kit

Notice

 

To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging the device, ground

yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded object, such as your
computer chassis.

1.

Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the computer chassis.

2.

Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for loose components or any
other sign of damage.

Notice

 

Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.

Note

 

Do not install a device if it appears damaged in any way.

3.

Unpack any other items and documentation from the kit.
