Installation  
WARNING! PCI Express cards, like all computer equipment, can be se-  
verely damaged by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly ground-  
ed before opening your computer case or touching your card. StarTech.  
com recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when installing any  
computer component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge your-  
self 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.

bracket), using the correct size screw.
