Safety Measures
Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity. Working on
computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow these guidelines to avoid
damage to the DNS 1640 or injury to yourself.
• Always disconnect power when carrying out work inside the unit.
• If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when carrying out work inside the unit. Alternatively,
discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare
metal body of any other grounded appliance.
• Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Do not flex or stress the circuit board.
• Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging until you are ready to install the component.
