When you are ready to install the network adapter, open the antistatic bag.
Hold the antistatic packaging of the network adapter against the bracket of an expansion
slot on your computer for at least two seconds.
This reduces the static charge in the packaging and in your body.

bag, make sure you place it on the antistatic bag and on a level surface.
Do not place the network adapter on the computer cover or on any other metal surface.

Do not touch any circuits on the network adapter or any of its port contacts.
Never use force when working with the network adapter or the PCI Express bus.
Do not allow anyone else to touch the network adapter.
