CAUTION: Each adapter is packed in an antistatic container to protect it during shipment.To avoid damaging any static- sensitive components after removal from the container, be sure to reduce any static electricity on your person. One way to do this is to touch the metal chassis of your computer.You can maintain grounding by wearing a wrist strap attached to the chassis.
1Open the shipping container and carefully remove its contents. The package should contain the following items:
■3Com Fast EtherLink Parallel Tasking EISA

If you find any omissions or damage, contact your network supplier and the carrier that delivered the package.
