Upgrading and ESD precautions

WARNING

Unplug the system before carrying out the procedures described in this document. Failure
to disconnect power before you open the system can result in personal injury or
equipment damage. Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present in this
product. Power switch terminals can have hazardous Voltages present even when the
power switch is off.
The procedures 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.
Do not operate the system with the cover removed. Always replace the cover before
turning on the system.

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this computer may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked
by the letter E or by the safety Earth symbol Ω or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or
coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or
coloured red.

Make sure you are earthed and free of static charge before you open the computer case. If you are
unsure about upgrading your computer, return it to Viglen so a qualified engineer can perform the
upgrade.

CAUTION!

The Viglen D945GTP motherboard
and associated components are
sensitive electronic devices. A small
static shock from your body can
cause expensive damage to your
equipment.

STEPS TO TAKE TO PREVENT STATIC DISCHARGE:

1. The best way to prevent static discharge is to buy an anti-static strap from your local electrical
shop. While you are wearing the strap and it is earthed, static charge will be harmlessly bled to
ground.

2. Do not remove the component from its anti-static protective packaging until you are about to
install it.

3. Hold boards by the edges - try not to touch components / interface strips etc.

Note:

We recommend that you return your computer to the service department for upgrading. Any work
carried out is fully guaranteed. Upgrades should only be carried out by persons who are familiar
with handling IC's, as incorrect installation will invalidate the guarantee.
