these steps.
1. Unpack the adapter, and inspect it for damage. Unpack the adapter in a static-free environment.
Remove the adapter from the anti-static bag, and carefully inspect the adapter for damage. If you notice
any damage, contact Broadcom or your reseller sales and support representative.

Handling Instructions
The handling and usage instructions stated herein are general guidelines for board-level products.
Individual board-level products may have additional instructions and requirements in the applicable
product specification, which should be consulted.
Complete all handling at an electrostatic discharge (ESD)-safe workstation with ESD-safe tools. The
workstation and tools must comply with IPC-A-610 at a minimum or ANSI/ESD S20.20.
Handle the base board by the edges. Do not handle the board by the bracket, heat sinks, or any
installed daughter board or DIMM.
Do not stack boards after removing them from their shipping containers. Place boards on a flat,
ESD
-safe surface with the top side of the board up to prevent damage to the heat sink.
Do not bend or twist the board at any time. Any stress that exceeds 500 micro-strain, or
500 micro
-inches of deflection per inch of board material in any direction, could damage the board.
Broadcom follows the IPC/JEDEC-9704 industry standard.
When installing the board in a system, press down evenly on the top corners of the base board to
avoid contact with brackets, heat sinks, or any installed daughter board or DIMM.
When installing cables, align the cable with the board-mounted connector. Do not force the cable
into the connector, and orient any polarized cables properly.
Disconnect the power before removing or replacing the board.
Do not allow any fluid or any material that is conductive or corrosive to contact the board.
