Before getting started, read the following important cautions.

1. The BBS-2003 does not come equipped with an operating system.

An operating system must be loaded first before installing any

software into the computer.

2. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing

the internal components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all

electronic components in any static-shielded devices. Most

electronic components are sensitive to static electrical charge.

3. Disconnect the power cord from the BBS-2003 before making any

installation. Be sure both the system and the external devices are

turned OFF. Sudden surge of power could ruin sensitive

components. Make sure the BBS-2003 is properly grounded.

4. Do not open the system’s back cover. If opening the cover for

maintenance is a must, only a trained technician is allowed to do

so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static

electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge,

observe the following precautions:

Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted

portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help

to discharge any static electricity on your body.

When handling boards and components, wear a wrist-grounding

strap, available from most electronic component stores.
