1.3 Safety Precautions
The following sections tell how to make each connection. In most cases,
you will simply need to connect a standard cable.
Warning! Always disconnect the power cord from your
chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not
connect while the power is on. A sudden rush of
power can damage sensitive electronic compo-
nents. Only experienced electronics personnel
should open the chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static
electric charge before touching UNO-2173A/AF.
Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to
static electric charges. Use a grounding wrist
strap at all times. Place all electronic compo-
nents on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-
shielded bag.
