1. Prepare to Install the Adapter
Before installing the adapter, you should perform the following steps:
1. Observe antistatic precautions.
2. Verify product contents.
3. Record adapter identification information.
4. Gather tools and accessories.
Observe Antistatic Precautions
This product contains electronic components that can easily be damaged
by small amounts of static electricity. To avoid damage, follow these
guidelines:
• Store adapters in their conductive plastic bags until you are ready to
install them.
• If possible, work in a static-free area.
• Handle adapters only by the edges. Do not touch electronic
components or electrical traces. We strongly recommend that you use
a grounding wrist strap that is connected to the metallic chassis of
the computer. If you do not have a wrist strap, touch the chassis
before handling adapters, and frequently or continuously thereafter,
to equalize any static charge.
