System expansions
!
It may be necessary to update the BIOS when carrying out a system expansion or
hardware upgrade.
When installing components, make sure that the maximum permissible temperatures of
the individual components are not exceeded.
The device must be switched off when installing/removing system expansions, it must not
be in an energy saving mode.
This chapter describes all the activities required to modify your PC hardware (e. g. installing boards
or drives).
Memory and processor upgrading are described in the system board Technical Manual.
Read the supplied documentation before installing new drives and/or boards.
Refer to the system board Technical Manual before making any extensions to the system board.
Information about boards
To prevent damage to the system board or the components and conductors on it, please take great
care when you insert or remove boards. Take great care to ensure that extension boards are slotted
in straight, without damaging components or conductors on the system board, or any other
components, for example EMI spring contacts.
Be especially careful with the locking mechanisms (catches, centring pins etc.) when you replace
the system board or components on it, for example memory modules or processors.
Never use sharp objects (screwdrivers) for leverage.
Boards with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are identifiable by the
label shown.
When you handle boards fitted with ESDs, you must, under all
circumstances, observe the following points:
·
You must always discharge static build up (e. g. by touching a
grounded object) before working.
·
The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.
·
Remove the power plug from the mains supply before inserting or
removing boards containing ESDs.
·
Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.
·
Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.
