3.1 Before You Proceed
The PCI-9812/9810 card has electrostatic sensitive components
that can be easily damaged by static electricity. The card must be
handled on a grounded anti-static mat. The operator must wear an
anti-static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-static
mat.
Inspect the card module carton for damages. Shipping and han-
dling could cause damage to the module. Make sure that the card
has no damage before installing.
After opening the card packaging, get the module and place it on a
grounded anti-static surface with component side up, then care-
fully inspect the module for any damage. Press down all socketed
IC's to make sure that they are properly seated. Do this only with
the module placed on a firm flat surface.
WARNING Do not attempt to install a damaged board into the com-
puter.

plug from the power source.

seated on the slot.
5. Secure the card to the chassis with a screw.
