SysKonnect SK-98xx V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
1 Getting started
To install the network adapter, observe the following instructions.

Handling

To avoid damaging the network adapter:
• Switch off the computer and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
• Do not open the antistatic bag until yo u are ready to install the network adapter.
• We recommend to wear an antistatic wrist st rap when installing the network adapter.
• Remove the computer cover and co nnect the wrist straps (electrically conductive) to the com-
puter chassis.
• Do not connect the wrist st rap to the ground terminal of the power supply. Faulty wiring could
make this terminal live and potentially lethal.
• Hold the antistatic packaging of the network adapter agai nst the bracket of an expansion slot on
your computer for at least two seconds.
This reduces the static charge in the packaging and in your body.
• Do not touch any circuits on the network ada pter or any of its port contacts.
• Do not place the network adapter on th e computer cover or any other metal surface.
• Do not allow anyone else to touch t he network adapter.
• Avoid unnecessary movement since th is can increase electrostatic charge.
• Never use force when working with the net work adapter or the PCI bus.
• If you need to place the network adapte r somewhere after removing it from the antistatic bag,
make sure that you place it on the antistatic bag and on a level surface.
