Support Notes:
We recommend you make a backup of important information on your
system's current hard drive(s) prior to installing new hardware or software.
When handling computer products, you must take care to prevent components from being
damaged by static electricity. Before opening your computer or removing parts from their pack-
ages, always ground yourself first by touching a metal part of the computer, such as a port
access cover, and work in an area free of static electricity; avoid carpeted areas. Handle all elec-
tronic components by their edges, and avoid touching connector traces and component pins.
Technical knowledge may be required to gain access to the expansion card slots in certain
computer models. We recommend you first consult your computer's user manual. If you feel
you are unable to install the computer hardware, contact a qualified technician.
* Depending on your operating system, you may need to install these drivers; instructions follow.
