Disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.
In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:
J
To help avoid possible damage to system boards, wait five seconds after
turning off the computer before removing a component, removing a
system board, or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.
J
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief
loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking
tabs. If you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking
tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep
them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before
connecting a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented
and aligned.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to service the system yourself except as
explained in this manual. Follow installation and
troubleshooting instructions closely.
