Always turn off the power to your computer before installing or removing an adapter.
Do not remove the adapter from its protective antistatic packaging until you are ready to use it.
Before handling the adapter, discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a protective grounding device or the metal chassis of your computer. As an added precaution, wear a grounding strap.
Always handle the adapter carefully by its edges. Avoid touching any of the components or connections, particularly the gold edge-connectors.
