Touching ports on the front panel or connecting cables may induce static electricity. In
the extreme, this can damage the chipsets in the N560 series system. To prevent this
effectively, user may wear a grounding wrist strap before installing or dealing with
N560 series.
In addition, grounding the system through the ground pin makes system more secure
electrically. You may see this ground pin (with a symbol depicted here) on the rear panel
(rightmost on N560 series). Wire this ground pin between earths’ ground.
