NOTICE:
To avoid electrostatic discharge and damage to internal components, ground yourself by using a wrist
grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.
NOTICE:
Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a card. Instead,
hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a microprocessor by its edges,

Some cables have connectors with locking tabs; before disconnecting this type of cable, press inward on the
locking tabs to release the connector. When connecting or disconnecting a cable, ensure that the connectors are
correctly oriented and aligned to avoid damage to the connector and/or the connector’s pins.
