4.  We will not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequencial damages to 

the product that has been modified or altered.

Static Electricity Precautions

It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board, components or devices even 

before installing them in your system unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer 

components without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra care in han-

dling them to ensure against electrostatic build-up.

1.  To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its anti-static bag until you 

are ready to install it.

2.  Wear an antistatic wrist strap.

3.  Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.

4.  Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of the components, con-

tacts or connections.

5.  Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold modules or 

connectors by their ends.

Safety Measures

• 

To avoid damage to the system, use the correct AC input voltage range.

• 

To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the power cord before removing the sys-

tem chassis cover for installation or servicing. After installation or servicing, cover the 

system chassis before plugging the power cord. 

Important:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drive and other 

components. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD 

workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD pro-

tection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the 

system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with 

the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.
