Take note of the precautions mentioned in this section when
installing your system.

2.0.2 Work Area

Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment.
Dust and dirt can get into components and cause malfunc-

them from becoming lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools
can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal
components.

2.0.3 Tools

Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be dis-
connected using your fingers. It is recommended that you do
not use needle-nosed pliers to remove connectors as these
can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.
