 WARNINGS 
The procedures in this chapter assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with 
personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using 
and modifying electronic equipment.  
Disconnect the computer from its power source and from any telecommunications links, 
networks, or modems before performing any of the procedures described in this chapter.  Failure 
to disconnect power, telecommunications links, networks, or modems before you open the 
computer or perform any procedures can result in personal injury or equipment damage.  Some 
circuitry on the board can continue to operate even though the front panel power button is off. 
 CAUTION 
Many of the internal and front panel connectors provide operating voltage (+5 V dc and +12 V dc, 
for example) to devices inside the computer chassis, such as fans and internal peripherals.  These 
connectors are not overcurrent protected.  Do not use these connectors for powering devices 
external to the computer chassis.  A fault in the load presented by the external devices could cause 
damage to the computer, the interconnecting cable, and the external devices themselves.
