of electric shock:
Switch off the power and remove power cords
before opening the PC cover.
Do not re-attach power cords and switch on power
to the PC while the PC cover is removed.
Protect the Board from Damage

sensitive boards and components at a static-safe work
area, and observe anti-static precautions at all times.
