PCI-1680U was carefully inspected mechanically and electrically before
it was shipped. It should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect
working order when received.
As you unpack the PCI-1680U, check for signs of shipping damage (dam-
aged box, scratches, dents, etc.). If it is damaged or it fails to meet speci-
fications, notify our service department or your local sales representative
immediately. Also notify the carrier. Retain the shipping carton and pack-
ing material for inspection by the carrier. After inspection we will make
arrangements to repair or replace the unit.
When you handle the PCI-1680U, remove it from its protective packag-
ing by grasping the rear metal panel. Keep the anti-vibration packing.
Whenever you remove the card from the PC, store it in this package for
protection.
Warning! Discharge your body’s static electric charge by
touching the back of the grounded chassis of the
system unit (metal) before handling the board. You
should avoid contact with materials that hold a static
charge such as plastic, vinyl and Styrofoam. Handle
the board only by its edges to avoid static damage to
its integrated circuits. Avoid touching the exposed
circuit connectors. We also recommend that you use
a grounded wrist strap and place the card on a static
dissipative mat whenever you work with it.
