Safety Precautions

Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your
chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make
connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic
components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only
experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.

Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before
touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very
sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a
grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic
components in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded bag
when they are not in the chassis.
