1.1 Before You Begin
CAUTIONS
The steps in this guide assume you’re familiar with computer terminology and with the
safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and modifying
computer equipment.
Disconnect the computer from its power source and from any network before performing any
of the steps described in this guide.
Failure to disconnect power, telecommunications links, or networks before you open the
computer or perform any procedures can result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Some circuitry on the board can continue to operate even though the front panel power
button is off.
Follow these guidelines before you begin:
• Always follow the steps in each procedure in the correct order.
• Create a log to record information about your computer, such as model, serial
numbers, installed options, and configuration information.
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. Perform the procedures
described in this chapter only at an ESD workstation using an antistatic wrist strap
and a conductive foam pad. If such a station isn’t available, you can provide some
ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of
the computer chassis.
