sheet metal frame or by its edges. Never touch any other part of the
card, including the PCIe connector.
The 82351A is a 3.3 V PCIe card and will only fit in a PCIe 1x, PCIe 4x or
PCIe 8x slot.

anti- static bag and record the serial number for future
reference. Save the anti- static bag so you can protect the
card if you need to remove the card from the PC.
