Installation
WARNING! PCI cards, like all computer equipment,
can be severely damaged by static electricity. Be sure
that you are properly grounded before opening your
computer case or touching your card. StarTech.com
recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when
installing any computer component. If an anti-static
strap is unavailable, discharge yourself of any static
electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal
surface (such as the computer case) for several sec-
onds. Also, be careful to handle the card by its edges
and not the gold connectors.
