Operating your system with the cover removed can damage your system components. For proper cooling and airflow, always replace the top panel before powering on your system.
Static Precautions
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, option boards, and other components. You can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground when handling system components.
Electronic devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. To prevent damage, keep them in their protective packaging when they are not installed in your system.
