Installing the Adapter 
This chapter describes installation precautions and explains how to install the adapter. It also 
describes how to connect the network cable. 
 
 
WARNING:  To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the safety 
information and user documentation provided with your equipment before attempting the 
installation of the adapter. 
Many computers are capable of producing energy levels that are considered hazardous. Users 
should not remove enclosures, nor should they bypass the interlocks provided for removal of 
these hazardous conditions. 
Installation of this adapter should be performed by individuals who are both qualified in the 
servicing of computer equipment and trained in the hazards associated with products capable 
of producing hazardous energy levels. 
 
NOTE:  Before removing the cover of your server, refer to the Compaq documentation for the proper 
methods for installing a PCI card and avoiding electric shock hazards. 
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions 
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can damage components on the 
adapter. This can make the adapter inoperable. In addition to the following information, see 
Appendix B for more precautions. 
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions: 
Always properly ground yourself when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing parts in static-safe containers. 
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free 
locations. 
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers. 
Avoid touching pins, leads or circuitry.
