cables. Disconnect the power cords to avoid exposure to
high energy levels that may cause burns when parts are
short-circuited by metal objects, such as tools or jewelry.
Disconnect telephone cables to avoid exposure to a shock
hazard from telephone ringing voltages.
Tools Required

includes a static-dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist
strap.
