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 PCI 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 seconds. Also be careful to handle the PCI card by its edges

and not the gold connectors.
