Pre-Installation Checklist
Before you install an adapter card, do the following:
1. Verify that your system is using the latest BIOS.
2. If your system is active, shut it down.
3. When the system shut down is complete, power OFF and unplug your
system.
4. Holding the adapter card by the edges, remove it from its shipping
package and place it on an antistatic surface.
5. Check the adapter for visible signs of damage, particularly on the
card’s edge connector.
Caution
Do not attempt to install a damaged adapter. If the adapter is
damaged, report it to Allied Telesis. See “Contacting Allied Telesis”
