WARNING!

Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate

Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electric-
ity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you

do not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to
a metal object, such as the power supply case.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads or

connectors, or other components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with

the component whenever the components are separated from the system.
