3.4 Hardware Setup Procedures
WARNING!
Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate
Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from
static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you
work on your computer.
1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components.
If you do not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded
object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case.
3. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips,
leads or connectors, or other components.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag
that came with the component whenever the components are
separated from the system.
5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug
in or remove the ATX power connector on the motherboard.
WARNING!
Make sure that you unplug the power supply when adding or removing
system components. Failure to do so may severely damage the
motherboard, peripherals, and/or components. When lit, the onboard
LED indicates that the system is in suspend or soft-off mode, not
powered OFF.
