Static Electricity Precautions

It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board, components or devices even before install-
ing them in your system unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer components without causing
any signs of physical damage. You must take extra care in handling them to ensure against electrostatic
build-up.

1. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its anti-static bag until you are ready to

install it.

2. Wear an antistatic wrist strap.

3. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.

4. Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of the components, contacts or connec-

tions.

5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold modules or connectors by their

ends.

Safety Measures

To avoid damage to the system:

• Use the correct AC input voltage range.

To reduce the risk of electric shock:

• Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis cover for installation or servic-

ing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis before plugging the power

cord.

Important:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drive and other com-

ponents. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD worksta-

tion 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 chas-

sis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system

chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.
