The following steps will guide you in completing the installation of your
new 64-bit/66MHz 7 Slot PCI Expansion System.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning
All PCI cards are susceptible to electrostatic discharge. When
moving PCI cards, it is best to carry the cards in anti-static
packaging. If you need to set a PCI card down, be sure to place it
inside or on top of an anti-static surface. For more information, see
“Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge”.

WARNING
High voltages are present inside the expansion system when the unit’s
power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Disconnect the power
cord from its source before removing the enclosure cover. Turning the
system power off at the power on/off switch does not remove power to
components. High voltage is still present.

CAUTION
Before touching anything inside the enclosure, move to an ESD station
and follow proper ESD procedure. Failure to do so may result in
electrostatic discharge damaging the computer or its components. For
more information, see “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge”.
