3.2Safety Precautions

3.2.1Warning!

Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis or power cable from your board 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.

3.2.2Caution!

Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the board. Modern 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 in a static-dissipative surface or static- shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.
