1.8 Safety Precautions
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from the chassis when
working with the hardware. Do not connect devices while the power is
on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power
surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC
chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the
motherboard. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to electro-
static discharges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface
or in a static-shielded bag when not in the chassis.
Caution! The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit.
There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's
instructions.

instructions.
