Safety Precautions
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis
whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections
while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be
damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronic
personnel should open the PC chassis.
Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before
touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very
sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a
grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components
in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded bag when they are
not in the chassis.
