1.3 Safety Precautions

The following sections tell how to make each connection. In most cases, you will simply need to connect a standard cable.

Warning!

Always disconnect the power cord from your

 

chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not

 

connect while the power is on. A sudden rush of

 

power can damage sensitive electronic compo-

 

nents. Only experienced electronics personnel

 

should open the chassis.

Caution!

Always ground yourself to remove any static

 

electric charge before touching UNO-2173A/AF.

 

Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to

 

static electric charges. Use a grounding wrist

 

strap at all times. Place all electronic compo-

 

nents on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-

 

shielded bag.
