Notes:
Take note of the following precautions before you install compo-
nents or change settings.
1. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object,
such as an attached power supply, before handling compo-
nents to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
2. Unplug the power cord before opening your chassis or touching
any component.
3. Hold components by their edges to avoid touching any exposed
integrated circuits (ICs).
4. Whenever you uninstall a component, place it on a grounded
anti-static pad or into anti-static bag that it came in.
