The PCI-1714 cards harbors certain electronic components vulnerable to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD could easily damage the integrated
circuits and certain components if preventive measures are not carefully
paid attention to.
Before removing the card from the antistatic plastic bag, you should take
following precautions to ward off possible ESD damage:
• Touch the metal part of your computer chassis with your hand to dis-
charge static electricity accumulated on your body. Or use a grounding
strap.
• Touch the anti-static bag to a metal part of your computer chassis
before opening the bag.
• Hold the card only by the metal bracket when removing it from the bag.
After taking out the card, you should first inspect the card for any possi-
ble signs of external damage (loose or damaged components, etc.). If the
card is visibly damaged, please notify our service department or the local
sales representative immediately. Avoid installing a damaged card into
your system. Also, pay extra caution to the following aspects to ensure
proper installation:
!
Avoid physical contact with materials that could hold static electricity
such as plastic, vinyl and Styrofoam.
!
Whenever you handle the card, grasp it only by its edges. DO NOT
TOUCH the exposed metal pins of the connector or the electronic compo-
nents.
Note: Keep the anti-static bag for future use. You may need
the original bag to store the card if you have to
remove the card from the PC or transport it elsewhere
