Installation Precautions
When you install and test the Intel Desktop Board, observe all warnings and cautions
in the installation instructions.
To avoid injury, be careful of:
• Sharp pins on connectors
• Sharp pins on printed circuit assemblies
• Rough edges and sharp corners on the chassis
• Hot components (such as 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.
Prevent Power Supply Overload
Do not overload the power supply output. To avoid overloading the power supply,
make sure that the calculated total current loads of all the modules within the
computer is less than the output current rating of each of the power supplies output
circuits.
Observe Safety and Regulatory Requirements
Read and adhere the instructions in this section and the instructions supplied with the
chassis and associated modules. If you do not follow these instructions and the
instructions provided by the chassis and module suppliers, you increase safety risk and
the possibility of noncompliance with regional laws and regulations. If the instructions
for the chassis are inconsistent with these instructions or the instructions for
associated modules, contact the supplier’s technical support to find out how you can
ensure that your computer meets safety and regulatory requirements.
