2.1 Unpacking

After receiving your PCI-1784 package, please inspect its contents first. The package should contain the following items:

!PCI-1784 card

!Companion CD-ROM (DLL driver included)

!User’s Manual

The PCI-1784 card harbors certain electronic components vulnerable to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD could easily damage the integrated circuits and certain components if preventive measures are not carefully paid attention to.

Before removing the card from the antistatic plastic bag, you should take following precautions to ward off possible ESD damage:

"Touch the metal part of your computer chassis with your hand to discharge static electricity accumulated on your body. Or one can also use a grounding strap.

"Touch the anti-static bag to a metal part of your computer chassis before opening the bag.

"Take hold of the card only by the metal bracket when removing it out of the bag.

After taking out the card, first you should:

"Inspect the card for any possible signs of external damage (loose or damaged components, etc.). If the card is visibly damaged, please notify our service department or our local sales representative immediately. Avoid installing a damaged card into your system.
