Every time you remove the cover, be sure to ground

yourself by touching the inside of the computer’s back

panel before you touch any components inside. If you are

not properly grounded, you could conduct static electricity

and damage your components. Also, do not touch any

components except those that this manual instructs you to

touch.

When disconnecting cables from sockets on the computer’s

main system board or any devices (such as disk drives),

avoid pulling on the cable; grasp the plastic connector to

remove it from a socket.

When plugging a connector or a component into a socket,

be sure to position it correctly. Carefully align any

connector pins with the corresponding holes in the socket

before you push in the connector. Otherwise, you can

severely damage the equipment.

Always replace the computer’s cover before you turn on

the power, or the computer may overheat.
