Preparing to install the board

1. Turn off the power to your workstation.
Leave the workstation plugged into a grounded power
outlet so that the power cord can serve as a ground for
the computer.
If you leave the workstation turned on, you could get
an electric shock and cause damage to your worksta-
tion and the Md5/PCI board.
2. Remove the lid from the workstation according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Determine which board you will use as the VGA
console: the Md5/PCI board (see page 119), or another
VGA board (see page 121).
