Taking Safety Precautions

WARNING: The adapter board is installed in a PC that operates with voltages that can be lethal. Before you remove the cover of your PC, you must observe the following steps to protect yourself and prevent damage to the PC’s components.

1Turn off the PC and unplug the unit from its power source.

2Remove any jewelry from your hands and wrists.

3Make sure to use only insulated or nonconductive tools.

CAUTION: The adapter is packed in an antistatic container to protect it during shipment. To avoid damaging highly static-sensitive components on the adapter or in the PC, be sure to reduce any static electricity on your body. You can also maintain grounding by wearing an electrostatic discharge wrist strap attached to the chassis.

1Carefully lift the adapter out of the box and set it aside.

2Return all packing materials to the shipping container and store the container in a safe place.

If you need to return the adapter to 3Com, you must pack it in the original (or equivalent) packing material, or the warranty will be voided.

3Remove the adapter from its antistatic bag.
