2.2 Unpacking
Your PCI-9820 card contains electro-static sensitive components that can
be easily be damaged by static electricity.
Therefore, the card should be handled on a grounded anti-static mat. The
operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband, grounded at the same
point as the anti-static mat.
Inspect the card module carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling
may cause damage to the module. Be sure there is no shipping and han-
dling damage on the module carton before continuing.
After opening the card module carton, extract the system module and place
it only on a grounded anti-static surface with component side up.
Again, inspect the module for damage. Press down on all the socketed IC's
to make sure that they are properly seated. Do this only with the module
place on a firm flat surface.
You are now ready to install your PCI-9820.
Note: DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE CARD IF IT HAS BEEN
DAMAGED.
