Caution
Some accessory/option card outputs exceed Class 2 or power source
limits and therefore must use appropriate interconnecting cabling in
accordance with the national electrical code during installation.
Caution
Damage will occur to your system if you attempt to install or remove
PCI cards in slots 6 or 7 without turning off your server and
disconnecting it from the AC power source.
Caution
Do not touch the contacts on the bottom part of the expansion card.
Touching the contacts can cause electrostatic damage to the card.
