Hardware Installation

1 Stop any application programs, then shut down your workstation.

2 Turn the workstation off, and unplug the power cord(s).

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, make sure you unplug the power cable from the wall

outlet and the system unit before proceeding any further.

CAUTION: The internal components of your workstation are susceptible to mechanical

and electrostatic shock. To prevent such damage from occurring, observe

the following precautions during the installation procedure.

• Stand on a static-free mat

• Wear a static-grounding wrist strap to ensure that any accumulated

electrostatic charge discharges from your body to ground. Attach the

static-grounding wrist strap by following the instructions on the pack-

age that contains the strap. Be sure to attach one end of the strap to the

system chassis.

• Handle workstation and upgrade kit components carefully to prevent

damage from mechanical shock.
