2.1 Initial Inspection
Before installing the PCI-1710/1710HG, check the card for visible
damage. We have carefully inspected the card both mechanically and
electrically before shipment. It should be free of marks and in perfect
order upon receipt.
As you unpack the PCI-1710/1710HG, check it for signs of shipping
damage (damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.). If it is damaged or fails
to meet specifications, notify our service department or your local
sales representative immediately. Also, call the carrier immediately and
retain the shipping carton and packing materials for inspection by the
carrier. We will then make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.
2.2 Unpacking
The PCI-1710/1710HG contains components that are sensitive and
vulnerable to static electricity. Discharge any static electricity on your
body to ground by touching the back of the system unit (grounded
metal) before you touch the board.
Remove the PCI-1710/1710HG card from its protective packaging by
grasping the card's rear panel. Handle the card only by its edges to
avoid static discharge which could damage its integrated circuits.
Keep the antistatic package. Whenever you remove the card from the
PC, protect the card by storing it in this package.
You should also avoid contact with materials that hold static electricity
such as plastic, vinyl and styrofoam.
Check the product contents inside the packing. There should be one
card, one CD-ROM, and this manual. Make sure nothing is missing.
