Safety precautions W arning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on because sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sudden rush of power . Only experienced electron- ics personnel should open the PC chassis. Caution! Always ground your[...]

Installing A CPU T o install the CPU, follow the instructions that came with it. If no documentation was provided, the general procedures for installing a CPU are outlined below: 1 .
