computer's electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.
NOTE: See the documentation that came with the adapter for information on configuring the adapter, making internal connections, or customizing it for
your computer.
NOTICE: Do not route card cables over or behind the cards. Cables routed over the cards can prevent the computer cover from closing properly or
cause damage to the equipment.
