1. Getting Started
1.1 Safety Precautions
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your 
chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not 
make connections while the power is on. Sensitive 
electronic components can be damaged by sudden power 
surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should 
open the PC chassis. 
Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before 
touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very 
sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, 
use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic 
components in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded 
bag when they are not in the chassis.
