Installation

WARNING! PCI Express cards, like all computer equipment, can be severely damaged

by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your

computer case or touching your card. StarTech.com recommends that you wear an

anti-static strap when installing any computer component. If an anti-static strap is

unavailable, discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large

grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds. Also be

careful to handle the card by its edges and not the gold connectors.
