WARNING! Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1.Unplug your computer when working on the internal components.

2.Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling computer components.

3.Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips on them.

4.Whenever you install any component, place the components on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the components.

5.Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
