2.4 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 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.
