2. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
WARNING!
Expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them
against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever
you work on your computer.
1.
Turn off your computer and unplug power supply.
2.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one, touch
both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply
case.
3.
Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components
whenever the components are separated from the system.
4.
Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX power
connector on the motherboard.
