Inspecting the Adapter
Before installing the adapter in your computer, you should
visually inspect it for damage that might have occurred
during shipment from the factory.
CAUTION: Each adapter is packed in an antistatic container
to protect it during shipment. To avoid damaging any
static-sensitive components after removal from the
container, be sure to reduce any static electricity on your
person. One way to do this is to touch the metal chassis of
your computer. You can maintain grounding by wearing a
wrist strap attached to the chassis.
1 Open the shipping container and carefully remove its
contents.
