your board or any components inside your computer.
Before opening your computer and installing your FlashPoint 128 card,

a grounded surface or by putting on a grounding strap. You can also
ground yourself by touching any unpainted metal surface on your
computer before you remove its power cord. Once you have grounded
yourself, make sure that you dont walk around without grounding
yourself again. While you perform this installation, you should periodi-
cally ground yourself to ensure that you remain static free.

damage the delicate
components on your
FlashPoint 128 card or in

disconnected the computer
from a source of power,
you will no longer be able
to use it to ground yourself.
