Before You Begin

CAUTION

The procedures in this chapter assume familiarity with the general terminology
associated with personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory
compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment.
Disconnect the computer from its power source and from any telecommunications
links, networks, or modems before performing any of the procedures described in this
chapter. Failure to disconnect power, telecommunications links, networks, or modems
before you open the computer or perform any procedures can result in personal injury
or equipment damage. Some circuitry on the board can continue to operate even
though the front panel power button is off.

Follow these guidelines before you begin installing the Desktop Board:
• Always follow the steps in each procedure in the correct order.
• Set up a log to record information about your computer, such as model, serial

numbers, installed options, and configuration information.

• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. Perform the procedures

described in this chapter only at an ESD workstation using an antistatic wrist strap
and a conductive foam pad. 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 computer chassis.
