Taking Antistatic Precautions
Static electricity can damage the components inside a computer or on a printed circuit card. To
reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge:
♦
Turn off power to the computer.
♦
Touch the metal chassis of the computer to drain off any static electricity before touching a
card.
♦
Wear a properly connected grounding wrist strap when handling a card or working in a
computer.
♦
Do not wear wool or polyester clothing.
♦
Work in an area with a relative humidity of at least 50 percent.
♦
Keep cards in anti-static bags until you are ready to install them.
♦
Handle cards as little as possible and by the edges only.
