	Handling components
	The electronic circuits in your computer and the circuits on
	Matrox Meteor-II are sensitive to static electricity and surges.
	Improper handling can seriously damage the circuits. Be sure
	to follow these precautions:
	■	Drain static electricity from your body by touching a metal
		fixture (or ground) before you touch any electronic
		component.
	■	Avoid letting your clothing come in contact with the circuit
		boards or components.
▲ Caution	Before you add or remove devices from your computer, always
	turn off the power to your computer and all peripherals.
