Owners Manual
NOTE: It is recommended that you always use an antistatic mat and antistatic strap while working on components inside
the system.
NOTE: To ensure proper operation and cooling, all bays in the system and system fans must be populated always with
either a component or with a blank.
To avoid injury to yourself or damage to the system, follow these guidelines:
● Always disconnect the system from the power outlet whenever you are working inside the system.
● If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap as you work inside the system. Or discharge any static electricity by touching the
bare metal chassis of system case, or the bare metal body of any other grounded appliance.
● Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the components on the board unless it is necessary to do so.
Do not flex or stress the circuit board.
● Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging until you are ready to use the component for the installation.
