Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 Initial Inspection
Before starting to install the PCI-1753/1753E, make sure there is no
visible damage on the card. We carefully inspected the card both
mechanically and electrically before shipment. It should be free of marks
and in perfect order on receipt.
As you unpack the PCI-1753/1753E, check it for signs of shipping
damage (damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.). If it is damaged or fails to
meet its specifications, notify our service department or your local sales
representative immediately. Also, call the carrier immediately and retain
the shipping carton and packing materials for inspection by the carrier.
We will then make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.
2.2 Unpacking
The PCI-1753/1753E contains components that are sensitive and
vulnerable to static electricity. Discharge any static electricity on your
body to ground by touching the back of the system unit (grounded metal)
before you touch the board.
Remove the PCI-1753/1753E card from its protective packaging by
grasping the card's rear panel. Handle the card only by its edges to avoid
static discharge which could damage its integrated circuits. Keep the
antistatic package. Whenever you remove the card from the PC, please
store the card in this package for its protection.
You should also avoid contact with materials that hold static electricity
such as plastic, vinyl and styrofoam.
Check the product contents inside the packing. In PCI-1753's package,
there should be one card, one CD-ROM, and this manual; in PCI-1753E's
package, there should be one card and a 10-cm 20-pin flat cable. Please
make sure nothing is missing.
