Chapter 2
Installing the ATI-TV Card
Static electricity can damage sensitive electronic components.
Discharge your body’s static electric charge by touching a
grounded surface — for example, the metal area of the computer
chassis — before performing any hardware procedure.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage caused by
improper installation of any components by unauthorized service
personnel. If you do not feel comfortable performing the
installation, consult a qualified computer technician.
Damage to system components, the accelerator card, and injury
to yourself may result if power is applied during installation.
Important Safety Instructions
• GROUNDING – CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST RISK OF
E
LECTRIC SHOCK AND FIRE, THE ATI-TV SHOULD BE INSTALLED ONLY IN
P
ERSONAL COMPUTERS EQUIPPED WITH A THREE-WIRE GROUNDING PLUG, A
P
LUG HAVING A THIRD (GROUNDING) PIN. If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
• OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING – Since an outdoor antenna or cable system
is connected to the product, be sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection of
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
• POWER LINES – An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity
of overhead power lines or other light or power circuits, or where it can fall into
such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits
as contact with them may be fatal.
