WARNING!
PCI Express Cards can be severely damaged by static electricity. Make sure that
you are properly grounded before you open your Computer Case or touch the PCI
Express Card. You should wear an Anti-Static Strap when you install any computer

electricity by touching a large Grounded Metal Surface for several seconds. Only
handle the PCI Express Card by its edges and don’t touch the gold connectors.
