Installation Environment
Whenever unpacking and preparing to install any equipment
described in this manual, please refer to the
Important Safety
Instructions
chapter of this manual.
Only install equipment in well lit areas on flat, sturdy surfaces with
access to basic tools such as flat and cross head screwdrivers.
ADLINK PCI-6208/6216-GL Series cards are electro-static sensi-
tive components that can be easily damaged by static electricity.
The card must be handled on a grounded anti-static mat. The
operator must wear an anti-static wristband, grounded at the same
point as the anti-static mat.
Inspect the carton and packaging for damage. Shipping and han-
dling could cause damage to the equipment inside. Make sure that
the card has no damage before installing.
NOTE:
NOTE:
For illustration/reference purposes, we will specifically
describe the
PCI-6208V-GL
card in all instances from
this point forward unless otherwise noted.
CAUTION:
The cards must be protected from static discharge and
physical shock. Never remove any of the socketed parts
except at a static-free workstation. Use the anti-static
bag shipped with the product to handle the card and
wear a grounded wrist strap when servicing.
