Advice on Connecting with Analysts/Associates Before Starting IB Internship

Hey there -- I'm an incoming SA in IB in NYC this summer, and I already know which group I'll be interning in. I'm considering reaching out to some of the analysts and associates from the group that I interviewed with. My main motivation is to familiarize myself with any preparation I can do beforehand and to understand expectations, so I can secure a return offer. Does anyone have experience with this? Are there any specific dos and don'ts from people's prior experiences with this?

Thanks for any insights!
