PCA-6148/6148L  User's Manual

Safety  precautions

Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from hard and
your PC from damage:

Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from

your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not
make connections while the power is on, sensitive
electronic components can be damaged by the
sudden rush of power. Only experienced electronics
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.
Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all
electronic components on a static-dissipative
surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not
in the chassis.
