Introduction
1-3. Safety Precautions
Follow the practices below to prevent electrical damage to personnel
and to the computer:
1. Emplo standard ESD precautions when working with this product
and its components. Static electricit can damage semiconductor
devices.
2. Take precautions against electric shock. Do not touch an
components of this card when the card is on. Disconnect the power
cord when the s stem is not in use.
3. Disconnect the power cord when ou change an hardware devices.
For instance, when ou connect a jumper or install an cards, a surge
of power ma damage electronic components that affect the whole
s stem.
