2.1 Safety Precautions

Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and

your PC from damage.

1. To avoid electric shock, always disconnect the power from your

PC chassis before you work on it. Don't touch any components on

the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on.

2. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The

sudden rush of power as you connect a jumper or install a card

may damage sensitive electronic components.

3. Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before you touch

your CPU card. Be particularly careful not to touch the chip

connectors. Modern integrated electronic devices, especially CPUs

and memory chips, are extremely sensitive to static electric discharges

and fields. Keep the card in its antistatic packaging when it is not

installed in the PC, and place it on a static dissipative mat when you are

working with it. Wear a grounding wrist strap for continuous

protection.
