WARNING!

Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate

Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To avoid damaging them due to static electricity,
follow these precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1. Unplug the computer when working on the internal components.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to a metal

object, such as the power supply case, before handling computer components.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips on them.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place the components on a grounded

antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the components.

5. Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power

supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power
supply.
Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard,
peripherals, and/or components.
(TIP: When lit, the onboard LED indicates that the system is in suspend or
soft-off mode, not powered OFF. See illustration below.)
