Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your computer. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch
any of your computer's electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.
As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
l
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are
ready to install the component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
l
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
l
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
