Warning! The CPU may be damaged if operated without a heatsink and a fan. Warning! Always disconnect the power cord from your panel PC when you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on as sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sudden rush of power.
NOTE! When you install a new CPU, be sure to adjust the board jumper settings. Improper settings may damage the CPU. (See Chapter 5 for jumper settings.)
