8 PCI Comm Card Series User's Manual
Initial Inspection
You should find the following items inside the shipping package (in
addition to this manual):
• PCI communication interface card
• Advantech Automation Software
• PCI communication card user's manual
We carefully inspected the PCI communication card series mechani-
cally and electrically before we shipped it. It should be free of marks
and scratches and in perfect working order on receipt.
As you unpack the PCI communication card series, check it for signs
of shipping damage (damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.). If it is
damaged or it fails to meet specifications, notify our service depart-
ment or your local sales representative immediately. Also notify the
carrier. Retain the shipping carton and packing material for inspec-
tion by the carrier. After inspection we will make arrangements to
repair or replace the unit.
When you handle the PCI communication card series, remove it from
its protective packaging by grasping the rear metal panel. Keep the
anti-vibration packing. Whenever you remove the card from the PC,
store it in this package for protection.
Warning! Discharge your body’s static electric charge by
touching the back of the grounded chassis of the
system unit (metal) before handling the board. You
should avoid contact with materials that hold a static
charge such as plastic, vinyl and styrofoam. Handle
the board only by its edges to avoid static damage to
its integrated circuits. Avoid touching the exposed
circuit connectors. We also recommend that you use
a grounded wrist strap and place the card on a static
dissipative mat whenever you work with it.
