þ Quick Start
The PCI-1710/1710L/1710HG/1710HGL/1711/1711L/1716/1716L card
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
discharge static electricity accumulated on your body. Or one can
also use a grounding strap.
• Touch the antistatic bag to a metal part of your computer chassis
before opening the bag.
• Take hold of the card only by the metal bracket when removing it
out of the bag.
After taking out the card, first you should:
• Inspect the card for any possible signs of external damage (loose or
damaged components, etc.). If the card is visibly damaged, please
notify our service department or our local sales representative
immediately. Avoid installing a damaged card into your system.
