925XE7AA Series User Manual

Notes:

Take note of the following precautions before you install components
or change settings.
1. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object,

such as an attached power supply, before handling components
to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.

2. Unplug the power cord before opening your chassis or touching

any component.

3. Hold components by their edges to avoid touching any exposed

integrated circuits (ICs).

4. Whenever you uninstall a component, place it on a grounded

antistatic pad or into the antistatic bag that it came in.
