Pre-Installation Checklist
Before you install the module, check the following list:

If you downloaded the module software from the Allied Telesis support
website, record the path to where the module driver files reside on
your system.
2. If your laptop is active, shut it down.
3. When the system shut down is complete, power OFF and unplug your
system.
4. Holding the module by the edges, remove it from its shipping package
and place it on an antistatic surface.
5. Check the module for visible signs of damage, particularly on the edge
connector.
Caution
