PCIE-1680 was carefully inspected mechanically and electrically before it was
shipped. It should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect working order when
received.
As you unpack the PCIE-1680, check for signs of shipping damage (damaged box,
scratches, dents, etc.). If it is damaged or it fails to meet specifications, notify our ser-
vice department or your local sales representative immediately. Also notify the car-
rier. Retain the shipping carton and packing material for inspection by the carrier.
After inspection we will make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.
When you handle the PCIE-1680, remove it from its protective packaging by grasping
the rear metal panel. Keep the anti-vibration packing. Whenever you remove the card
from the PC, store it in this package for protection.
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
avoid static damage to its integrated circuits. Avoid touching the
exposed circuit connectors. We also recommend that you use a
grounded wrist strap and place the card on a static dissipative mat
whenever you work with it.
