Caution!
The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit.
There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Caution!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis when-
ever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the
power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sud-
den power surges.
Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the
motherboard, backplane, or add-on cards. 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 on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in
the chassis.
Caution!
Any unverified component could cause unexpected damage. To ensure
the correct installation, please always use the components (ex. screws)
provided with the accessory box.
Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.
1.
To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis
before you work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other
cards while the PC is on.
2.
Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden power
surge as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive electronic
components.
