Static Electricity Warning

Static electricity is accumulated naturally in the human body, and
can be discharged through electrical components by touching
them. This shock can potentially cause permanent internal
damage to the component.

When installing the adapter, please observe the following
precautions:

• Discharge yourself before commencing by touching a
grounded metal appliance, such as the metal frame of a
computer - while it is tuned off, but still plugged into the wall
socket.

• Hold the adapter or any other boards by their edges only.
Never touch any exposed pins on the adapter.

• If possible, install the adapter as soon as you remove it from
its anti-static bag, without putting it down. If you must put it
down, place it on the anti-static bag in which it was packed.

• Do not place the adapter on any metal surface.
