3: Fitting Hardware Options
Protecting Against Static Electricity
STATIC WARNING:
Before handling any of the components in the
computer, take precautions against damage
caused by static electricity on your body.
If you have an earthing wristband, attach it to the power supply unit.
Make sure that it is connected to a metal part of the power supply
unit and not to a label.
If you are using an earthing wristband with a crocodile clip, attach it
to an unpainted section on the rear panel.
If you do not have an earthing wristband, always discharge any static
electricity which may have built up on your body before touching any
components. To do this, touch the unpainted metal rear panel of the
computer near the mains inlet.
If you take a break from working inside the computer, repeat the
above procedure before you restart. You need to discharge new
static, which may have built up on your body.
Adapter Cards
You can enhance the capabilities of your computer by inserting
adapter cards (sometimes referred to as "option cards” or "expansion
cards") into the bus expansion slots. The RM One is capable of fitting
up to three PCI, PCI-Express or AGP cards that conform to the low
profile PCI specification, often known as half-height PCI cards. The
type of cards that can be fitted depends on the capabilities of the
system board.
