2.1 Initial Inspection

You should find the following items inside the shipping package:

PCI-1625U Intelligent communication card, DB62 loopback for PCI- 1625U, and ICOM CD-ROM with Industrial Communication Driver, Utility, and Intelligent PCI communication card user manual.

We carefully inspected the Intelligent PCI communication card series mechanically and electrically before we shipped it. It should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect working order on receipt.

As you unpack the PCI-1625U, check for signs of shipping damage (dam- aged box, scratches, dents, etc.). If it is damaged or it fails to meet speci- fications, notify our service department or your local sales representative immediately. Also notify the carrier. Retain the shipping carton and pack- ing material for inspection by the carrier. After inspection we will make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.

Discharge your body’s static electric charge by touching the back of the grounded chassis of the system unit (metal) before handling the board. You should avoid contact with materials that hold a static charge such as plastic, vinyl and styrofoam. Handle the board only by its edges to avoid static damage to its integrated circuits. Avoid touching the exposed circuit connectors. We also recommend that you use a grounded wrist strap and place the card on a static dissipative mat whenever you work with it

When you handle the card, remove it from its protective packaging by grasping the rear metal panel. Keep the anti-vibration packing. Whenever you remove the card from the PC, store it in this package for protection.
