2.1 Initial Inspection

Before installing the PCI-1710/1710HG, check the card for visible damage. We have carefully inspected the card both mechanically and electrically before shipment. It should be free of marks and in perfect order upon receipt.

As you unpack the PCI-1710/1710HG, check it for signs of shipping damage (damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.). If it is damaged or fails to meet specifications, notify our service department or your local sales representative immediately. Also, call the carrier immediately and retain the shipping carton and packing materials for inspection by the carrier. We will then make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.

2.2 Unpacking

The PCI-1710/1710HG contains components that are sensitive and vulnerable to static electricity. Discharge any static electricity on your body to ground by touching the back of the system unit (grounded metal) before you touch the board.

Remove the PCI-1710/1710HG card from its protective packaging by grasping the card's rear panel. Handle the card only by its edges to avoid static discharge which could damage its integrated circuits.

Keep the antistatic package. Whenever you remove the card from the PC, protect the card by storing it in this package.

You should also avoid contact with materials that hold static electricity such as plastic, vinyl and styrofoam.

Check the product contents inside the packing. There should be one card, one CD-ROM, and this manual. Make sure nothing is missing.
