Before starting installation
Be careful when handling the NC-9100h. There are many delicate 
electronic components that are susceptible to damage from static 
electricity. To avoid such damage, use the following precautions 
when handling the board.
■Leave the NC-9100h in its anti-static bag until you are ready to 
install it.
■Make sure that you are adequately grounded before touching the 
NC-9100h. Use an anti-static wrist strap and a grounding mat if 
possible. If you do not have an anti-static wrist strap, touch the 
bare metal surface on the back of the machine before handling 
the NC-9100h.
■Avoid moving around the work area in order to eliminate static 
charge build-up.
■If possible, do not work on a carpeted area.
■Do not flex the board and do not touch the components on the 
card.
