WARNING: For your personal safety and protection of the equipment, perform the following steps in the sequence listed before you start to
work on the computer:
1. Touch an unpainted metal surface on the chassis, such as the metal around the card-slot openings at the back of the computer, before
touching anything inside your computer. While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis to
dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components.
2. Turn off your computer and any peripherals
3. Disconnect the computer and peripherals from their power sources to reduce the potential for personal injury.
4. Disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer.
CAUTION: The computer's power supply continues to supply "flea power" to the system board whenever the computer is turned off and
plugged into an AC power source. Do not replace or install components on the system board without first unplugging the computer from the AC
power source. Otherwise, damage may occur to the system board and to the components.
