Hardware Installation
There are two electrical versions of the PCI and PMC
! Adapters, a
Caution version. Make sure you have the correct type of adapter to match the bus and peripherals being connected. A mixed installation can cause electrical damage to both the peripherals and to the adapter.
Unpacking the Adapter
The board is packed in an antistatic bag or transpartent
! clamshell to protect it during shipment. Keep the
Caution adapter in the protective bag or clamshell until you are ready to install it on the motherboard of the host computer. To prevent damage to the adapter due to electromagnetic discharge, wear a grounding strap and handle the adapter only by the edges. Do not touch the components or any metal parts on the adapter, except for the metal face plate.
1.Open the shipping container and carefully remove its contents. Do not open the antistatic bag or clamshell containing the adapter at this time.
2.Verify that you have received all items on the packing list, and inspect each item for damage.
If you find any omissions or damage, contact your supplier and the carrier that delivered the package.
3.Return all packing materials to the shipping container and save.
If the board must be returned, ship it in its original box (or one providing equivalent protection). Failure to do so could void your warranty.
