System expansions

It may be necessary to update the BIOS when carrying out a system expansion or
!
hardware upgrade.
When installing components, make sure that the maximum permissible temperatures of
the individual components are not exceeded.
The device must be switched off when installing/removing system expansions, it must not

This chapter describes all the activities required to modify your PC hardware (e.g. installing boards
or drives).
Memory and processor upgrading are described in the technical manual for the mainboard. Refer to

Information about boards

To prevent damage to the mainboard or the components and conductors on it, please take great
care when you insert or remove boards. Take great care to ensure that extension boards are slotted
in straight, without damaging components or conductors on the mainboard, or any other
components, for example EMI spring contacts.
Be especially careful with the locking mechanisms (catches, centring pins etc.) when you replace
the mainboard or components on it, for example memory modules or processors.
Never use sharp objects (screwdrivers) for leverage.
