CAUTION: The NIC is packed in an antistatic container to protect it during shipment. To avoid damaging the NIC or the PC, reduce static electricity on your body by wearing an electrostatic discharge wrist strap attached to the chassis or by touching an unpainted metal part of the chassis before handling the NIC.
