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, contacts
or connections.
5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold modules or con-
nectors 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 system chassis cover for installa-
tion 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 protection 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.
