We carefully inspect our PCI communication cards mechanically and electrically
before shipping. Your card should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect
working condition upon receipt.
As you unpack, check for any signs of shipping damage (damaged box, scratches,
dents, etc.). Should you find any damage or if the card fails to meet specifications,
please notify our service department or your local sales representative immediately.
The carrier should also be notified. Please retain the shipping carton and packing
material for further inspections by the carrier.
After inspection we will arrange either repair or a replacement.
When you handle the card, hold the rear metal panel when removing it from its pro-
tective packaging. Keep the anti-vibration packaging for later storage should you
need to remove the card from the PC.
Warning! Discharge your body's static electric charge by touching the back of the
grounded chassis of the system unit (metal) before handling the board.
You should avoid contact with materials that hold a static charge such
as plastic, vinyl, and styrofoam. Handle the board only by its edges to
prevent static from damaging its integrated circuits. Avoid touching the
exposed circuit connectors. We recommend that you use a grounded
wrist strap and place the card on a static dissipative mat whenever you
handle it.
