WARNING!
Computer motherboards and 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. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
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. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips or any other
components.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the
component whenever the components are separated from the system.
5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or
remove the ATX power connector on the motherboard.
WARNING!
Make sure that you unplug the power supply when adding or
removing system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the
motherboard, peripherals, and/or components. When lit, the onboard LED
indicates that the system is in suspend or soft-off mode, not powered OFF.
