Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install the ASUS TV Tuner

Card/Box.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any

component.

• Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal

object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to

avoid damaging them due to static electricity.

• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
• Keep all components, such as the host adapter, in their antistatic bag

until you are ready to install them. Likewise, whenever you uninstall any

component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came

with it.

• Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power

supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply.

Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard and

peripherals.
