1.7 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 electronics personnel should open
the PC chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the boards. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a
grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all elec-
tronic components on a static-dissipative sur-
face or in a static-shielded bag when they are
not in the chassis.

ered Real-time Clock circuit. There is a danger

Replace only with same or equivalent type rec-
ommended by the manufacturer. Discard used
batteries according to manufacturer's instruc-
tions.

recharge, force open, or heat the battery.
Replace the battery only with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the manufac-
turer. Discard used batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
