by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your
computer case or touching your PCI card. 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. Also be
careful to handle the card by its edges and not the gold connectors.

computer system for details.
3. Locate an open PCI Express slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the
