8 • Installation
2.2 Unpacking
Your PCI-9114 card contains sensitive electronic components that can be
easily damaged by static electricity.
The card should be put on a grounded anti-static mat. The operator
shouldbewearingananti-static wristband, grounded at the same point
as the anti-static mat.
Inspect the card module carton for obvious damage. Shipping and
handling may cause damage to your module. Be sure there are no
shipping and handing damages on the module before processing.
After opening the card module carton, extract the system module and
place it only on a grounded anti-static surface component side up.
Again inspect the module for possible damage.
Note: DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE CARD IF IT HAS BEEN
DAMAGED.
You are now ready to install your PCI-9114.
