1.4 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.
