Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from damage:
1. To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis before you work on
it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on.
2. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush of power as you
connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive electronic components.
