Installing Xtium2-CLHS PX8
Warning! (Grounding Instructions)
Static electricity can damage electronic components. Please discharge any static electrical charge
by touching a grounded surface, such as the metal computer chassis, before performing any
hardware installation. If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation, please consult a
qualified computer technician.
Important: Never remove or install any hardware component with the computer power on.
Disconnect the power cord from the computer to disable the power standby mode. This prevents the
