Hardware Installation CM33-TL (Supports onboard LAN) Note: The illustrations on the following pages are based on the CM33-TL system board, which is the board that supports onboard LAN.
Hardware Installation Warning: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board, processor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis.
