Note. Whenever you handle an FCSA, follow standard operating practices to avoid damage to

the equipment. See Review Standard Operating Practices on page 2-8.

Caution. When opening the packing container, be careful not to cut into the ESD protective

bag.

pins and the connectors on other adapter boards also inserted into that slot can be damaged.

Moving a damaged adapter from slot to slot can damage other slots and other adapters.
