To Install the Adapter

Caution – Electronic components on printed circuit boards are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of static electricity generated by your clothing or work environment can damage the electronic equipment. When installing the SunHSI/U adapter in a system, use anti-static grounding straps and antistatic mats to help prevent damage due to electrostatic discharge.
