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,

surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds. Also be careful to handle the
PCI card by its edges and not the gold connectors.
