Perform the procedures described in this chapter only at an ESD workstation using an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam pad. If such a station isnt available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis. Installation Precautions When you install and test the Intel NUC, observe all warnings and cautions in the installation instructions. To avoid injury, be careful of: Sharp pins on connectors Sharp pins on circuit boards Rough edges and sharp corners on the chassis Hot components (such as SSDs, processors, voltage regulators, and heat sinks) Damage to wires that could cause a short circuit Observe all warnings and cautions that instruct you to refer computer servicing to qualified technical personnel.
