■ Wear a grounded static wrist strap. Attach the strap's alligator clip to any grounded metal surface on the
component's chassis that you are working on. Place the wristband around your wrist.
■ Do not handle any components unnecessarily, particularly boards and cards that slide in and out of PCI
slots on their parent hardware components.
Grounding Audio Hardware Components
It is important to properly ground the audio components. Otherwise, ground loops can occur, causing
humming in the system. To ensure proper grounding, use the XLR-3 cables shipped with your system. Other
cables may cause humming.
Receiving Your Shipment
Check all boxes for dents or other markings that might indicate damage during transport. If you suspect a
component is damaged, carefully inspect it before setting up the system. If you receive a damaged component,
call Customer Support. See
Contacting Customer Support on page 2.
Use the packing checklist enclosed with the shipment to ensure you received all parts.
