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