General Hardware Installation Sequence

To ensure the proper installation of any Thin Client hardware option:

1.Back up any data if necessary.

2.If the Thin Client is on:

a.Shut the unit down.

b.Turn the unit and any other attached devices off. See the section “Locating the Power On Switch” later in this chapter to locate the power on/off switch on your Thin Client.

c.Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

d.Disconnect any external devices or cables.

ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock and/or hot surfaces, be sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and allow the internal system components to cool before touching.

ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug telecommunications or telephone connectors into the network interface controller (NIC) receptacles.

ÄCAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the Thin Client or optional equipment. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. See Appendix C, “Electrostatic Discharge,” for more information.
