CAUTION
Place the power and data cables to the side of the fan bracket. This prevents both the fan
blades and the processor heat sinks from damaging the cables.
CAUTION
While the base unit is open, follow the guidelines in “Taking Antistatic Precautions.”
Taking Antistatic Precautions
Static electricity can damage the components on an expansion card or the components inside
the base unit. To avoid building up a static charge, do the following:
u
Turn off the power to all devices.
u
To maintain grounding, do not unplug the power cord from the base unit or AC outlet.
u
Touch the bare metal of the base unit chassis to discharge any static electricity.
u
Wear a grounding wrist strap. Ensure the strap is properly connected to the system and to
your wrist.
u
Do not wear wool or polyester clothing.
u
Avoid rugs, carpets, and similar surfaces, since they can give you a static charge as you
move on them. Work on a static-safe surface instead.
u
Work in an area with a relative humidity of at least 50 percent.
u
Handle expansion cards as little as possible and by the edges only. Never grab it as you
would a book.
u
Leave new parts in their protective packaging until you install them.
