Installation WARNING! PCI Express cards, like all computer equipment, can be severely damaged by static electricity.

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.
