.

Review the specifications of a new component before you install it to verify that it is compatible 
with the computer. Record the model and serial number, and any other pertinent information of 
new components for future reference.

Voltage Precautions

The computers contain line voltages. Disconnect all power to the computer before you install or 
remove components.

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions

Follow these precautions:

• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at the designated 

static-free work area.

• Cover the designated work area with approved static-dissipating material: 

– Use an anti-static wriststrap that is connected to the work surface.

– Use properly grounded tools and equipment.

• Keep the designated work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic 

assembly-aids and foam packing.

• Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.

• Always hold components with a printed circuit board (PCB) by its edges and place it 

with the assembly side down.

• To minimize risk from electrostatic discharge, only clean displays with a damp cloth.

IMPORTANT

We recommend that you use only Allen-Bradley® approved accessories and replacement 
parts.

SHOCK HAZARD: 

Disconnect all power to the computer before you remove components.

Failure to disconnect power can result in severe electric shock to an individual or electrostatic 
discharge (ESD) damage to the computer and components.

ATTENTION: 

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry.

• Disconnect all power before you work on the computer as detailed in 

Voltage Precautions on 

page 19

.

• Observe proper packaging and grounding techniques to help prevent damage.
