Attention 

 

The FastTrak SX4000 controller card, like many other parts of 
your PC, is sensitive to static electricity. Be sure that you are 
properly grounded (Promise recommends that you wear an 
anti-static strap, or place a free hand on a grounded object), 
and that your PC is unplugged before installing any of the 
FastTrak SX4000 components.
