Before You Begin
CAUTIONS
The steps in this guide assume
you’re
familiar with computer terminology and with the safety
practices and regulatory compliance required for using and modifying computer equipment.
Disconnect the computer from its power source and from any network before performing any of the steps
described in this guide.
Failure to disconnect power, telecommunications links, or networks before you open the computer or
perform any procedures can result in personal injury or equipment damage. Some circuitry on the board
can continue to operate even though the front panel power button is off.
Follow these guidelines before you begin:
•
Always follow the steps in each procedure in the correct order.
•
Create a log to record information about your computer, such as model, serial numbers,
installed options, and configuration information.
•
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. Perform the procedures described in
this chapter only at an ESD workstation using an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam
pad. If such a station
isn’t
available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an
antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.
Installation Precautions
When you install and test the Intel NUC, observe all warnings and cautions in the installation
instructions.
To avoid injury, be careful of:
•
Sharp pins on connectors
•
Sharp pins on circuit boards
•
Rough edges and sharp corners on the chassis
•
Hot components (such as SSDs, processors, voltage regulators, and heat sinks)
•
Damage to wires that could cause a short circuit
Observe all warnings and cautions that instruct you to refer computer servicing to qualified
technical personnel.
Observe Safety and Regulatory Requirements
If you
don’t
follow these instructions, you increase your safety risk and the possibility of noncompliance
with regional laws and regulations.
