Safety Precautions
Pre-Installation Checklist
1 Check that your system meets the hardware and software 
2 Verify that your system is using the latest firmware or BIOS.
3 Review the information in the readme file on the 3Com Gigabit 
Etherlink Server CD for important information not available at the 
time this manual was printed.
4 If the system is active, shut it down.
5 When the system shutdown is complete, power OFF your system.
6 Holding the NIC by the edges, remove it from its shipping package 
it and place it on an anti-static surface.
7 Check the NIC for visible signs of damage, particularly on the card’s 
edge connector. Never attempt to install any damaged NIC. 
If the NIC is damaged, report it to your 3Com Customer Support 
Representative. For more information, see "Contacting 3Com" on page 1.
CAUTION: The NIC is being installed in a system that operates with 
voltages that can be lethal. Before you remove the cover of your system, 
you must observe the following precautions to protect yourself and to 
prevent damage to the system components.
Remove any metallic objects or jewelry from your hands and wrists.
Make sure to use only insulated or nonconducting tools.
Verify that the system is powered OFF and unplugged before 
accessing internal components.
Installation or removal of NICs must be performed in a static-free 
environment. The use of a properly grounded wrist strap or other 
personal anti-static devices and an anti-static mat is strongly 
recommended.
NOTE: If you acquired the NIC software on a floppy disk or from the 
3Com website, please check the appropriate source for the most recent 
information.
