If this surface is contacted, the potential for injury exists. To reduce the risk of injury from a hot component, allow the surface to cool before touching. Å WARNING: Any surface or area of the equipment marked with these symbols indicates the presence of an electrical shock hazard. To reduce the risk of injury from electrical shock, do not open any enclosed area. Ä CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the workstation. Before beginning these procedures, be sure you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. Ä CAUTION: Installing the processor incorrectly can damage the system board. Have an HP authorized reseller or service provider install the processor. If you plan to install it yourself, read all of the instructions carefully before you begin. To prevent damage to this system, observe all of 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.
