2.1 Unpacking

After receiving your MIC-3716 package, please inspect its contents
first. The package should contain the following items:
þ MIC-3716 card
þ Companion CD-ROM (DLL driver included)
þ User' s Manual
The MIC-3716 card harbors certain electronic components vulnerable
to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD could easily damage the
integrated circuits and certain components if preventive measures are
not carefully paid attention to. Before removing the card from the
antistatic plastic bag, you should take following precautions to
ward off possible ESD damage:
w
Touch the metal part of your computer chassis with your hand to
discharge static electricity accumulated on your body. Or one can
also use a grounding strap.
w
Make contact between the antistatic bag and a metal part of the
computer chassis before opening the bag.
w
Hold the card by the metal bracket only when removing it from its
bag.
