1.7 Safety Precautions

Warning!

Always completely disconnect the power cord

 

from your chassis whenever you work with the

 

hardware. Do not make connections while the

 

power is on. Sensitive electronic components

 

can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only

 

experienced electronics personnel should open

 

the PC chassis.

Caution!

Always ground yourself to remove any static

 

charge before touching the motherboard. Mod-

 

ern electronic devices are very sensitive to

 

static electric charges. As a safety precaution,

 

use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place

 

all electronic components on a static-dissipative

 

surface or in a static-shielded bag when they

 

are not in the chassis.

Caution!

The computer is provided with a battery-pow-

 

ered Real-time Clock circuit. There is a danger

 

of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

 

Replace only with same or equivalent type rec-

 

ommended by the manufacturer. Discard used

 

batteries according to manufacturer's instruc-

 

tions.

Caution!

There is a danger of a new battery exploding if

 

it is incorrectly installed. Do not attempt to

 

recharge, force open, or heat the battery.

 

Replace the battery only with the same or

 

equivalent type recommended by the manufac-

 

turer. Discard used batteries according to the

 

manufacturer’s instructions.
