Safety Precautions
To protect yourself from injuries and avoid damage of the device, always observe the following safe-
ty instructions when installing the network adapter.
Avoiding injuries
To avoid potential shock hazards:
• Do not carry out any installation, maintenance, or (re)configuration work during a thunderstorm.
• Do not connect or disconnect any power cables during a thunderstorm.
• For installation in a Hot-Plug system, observe the safety instructions specific to this system.
Read the relevant documentation.
• Do not connect the network adapter to a telephone line.
Avoiding damage
To avoid damaging the network adapter:
1. Switch off the computer.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
3. Remove the computer cover.
4. Before installing the network adapter, put on an antistatic wrist strap (electrically conductive).
5. Connect the wrist strap to the computer chassis.
Do not connect the wrist straps to the ground terminal of the power supply!
Faulty wiring could make this terminal live and potentially lethal.
6. When you are ready to install the network adapter, open the antistatic bag.
We recommend to wear an antistatic wrist strap when installing the network adapter.
7. Hold the antistatic packaging of the network adapter against the bracket of an expansion slot on
your computer for at least two seconds.
This reduces the static charge in the packaging and in your body.
If you need to place the network adapter somewhere after removing it from the antistatic bag,
make sure that you place it on the antistatic bag and on a level surface.
Do not place the network adapter on the computer cover or on any other metal surface.
8. Cautiously insert the adapter into the corresponding slot.
Do not touch any circuits on the network adapter or any of its port contacts.
Electrical current!
Electrical current from power, phone, and communications cables can be hazardous.
Never touch any electrical elements with bare hands.
i
Electrical installations must comply with the safety regulations of the country in which they are oper-
ated.
Electrostatic discharge!
Electrostatic discharge may damage or destroy the network adapter.
