This chapter provides advice setting up your system. If your system is not already fully
integrated with processors, system memory etc., refer to Chapter 3 for details on installing

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent such
damage to PCBs (printed circuit boards), it is important to use a grounded wrist strap, handle
all PCBs by their edges and keep them in anti-static bags when not in use.
