Installation

WARNING! PCI Express cards, like all computer equipment, can be se- verely damaged by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly ground- ed before opening your computer case or touching your card. StarTech. com recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when installing any computer component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge your- self of any static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds. Also be careful to handle the card by its edges and not the gold connectors.
