Hardware Installation
Important:
When the Standby Power LED lit red, it indicates that there is power on
the system board. Power-off the PC then unplug the power cord prior to
installing any devices. Failure to do so will cause severe damage to the
motherboard and components.
System Memory
Important:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board, processor,
disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform the upgrade
instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only. If such a
station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing
an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system
chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact
with the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD pro-
tection.
