ATTENTION:
Make sure to read and understand the entire installation or
removal procedure first, before you begin configuring the computer hardware.
Review the specifications of a new component before installing it to make sure it is
compatible with the computer. Record the model and serial number, and any other
pertinent information of new components for future reference.
ATTENTION:
ESD can damage the computer and components. Make sure you
work in a static-safe environment and wear a grounding strap whenever
handling circuit boards, power supply, memory modules, or other internal
components.
SHOCK HAZARD:
The computers contain line voltages. Disconnect all power
to the computer before you install or remove system components. Failure to do
so could result in severe electrical shock or damage to the computer.
