Caution:

The TX 4000 board is shipped in a protective anti-static container. Leave the board in its container until you are ready to install it. Handle the board carefully and hold it only by its edges. We recommend that you wear an anti-static wrist strap connected to a good earth ground whenever you handle the board. Take care not to touch the gold fingers that plug into the PCI bus connectors.
