2.3 Safety Precaution
Do not remove your card from its protective bag until you are ready to
install it.
Always try to hold your card by its edges. Avoid touching any electronic
components on your card.
Static electricity can cause permanent damage to your card. To prevent
such damage, you must ground yourself during the installation:
» Use a grounding strap, which is a coiled wire with a clip at one end and
an elastic strap at the other. Wear the strap around your wrist and
attach the clip to any non-painted metal surface of your computer
chassis.
» If you do not have a grounding strap, touch any non-painted surface of
the computer chassis before you begin installation, and again every
minute or so until the installation is completed.
2.4 Installation Notes
The graphics and screens illustrations shown in this manual may differ from
what you see in your actual system, but the procedures will still apply.
A Philips screwdriver is required for the card installation.
The documentation of your computer should come in handy during the
