CAUTION!

WARNINGS
The procedures in this chapter assume familiarity with the general terminology
associated with personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory
compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment.
Disconnect the computer from its power source and from any telecommunications
links, networks, or modems before performing any of the procedures described in
this chapter. Failure to disconnect power, telecommunications links, networks, or
modems before you open the computer or perform any procedures can result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
Some circuitry on the motherboard may
continue to operate even though the front panel power button is off.
CAUTION!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components.
Perform the procedures
described in this chapter only at an ESD workstation.
If such a station is not
available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an anti-static wrist strap
and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.
