C.1 Before You Start
You may plan your system integration process in advance by using TABLE C-1 on
page C-2,
TABLE C-2 on page C-3 and TABLE C-3 on page C-4.
Caution – These procedures should be performed only by qualified technicians. Be
sure to take appropriate precautions against electrical hazards.
Caution – As with all electronic devices, electronic circuit boards such as the Ultra
AXi components are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of
static from your clothes or work environment can destroy some devices. Therefore,
follow these guidelines:
■ Handle all boards only by the nonconducting edges
■ Do not touch the components to any metal parts
■ Always wear a grounding wrist strap connected to ground when working on
or handling the motherboard
