CAUTION: To prevent damage to this system, observe the following Electro Static Discharge (ESD) precautions
while performing the system parts removal/replacement procedures:
❏
Work on a static-free mat.
❏
Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is discharged from your body
to the ground.
❏
Create a common ground for the equipment you are working on by connecting the static-free mat,
static strap and peripheral units to that piece of equipment.

CAUTION: Failure to follow the workstation preparation instructions and these installation steps could
result in an improperly installed processor, causing extensive system damage.
