C-2 System Board, Connectors, and Error Messages
If you do not have a grounding strap, you can ground
yourself and dissipate any electrostatic buildup by doing the
following:
1.
Connect the computer’s power cord between the
computer and a three-pronged, grounded electrical
outlet.
2.
Be sure power to the computer is turned off.
3.
Touch and maintain continuous contact with an
unpainted metal surface of the computer system while
handling or touching any internal components, chips,
add-on boards, or disk drives.
Proper grounding surfaces inside the computer include
the disk drive mounting cage, the metal surrounding the
power supply, or unpainted portions of the computer’s
rear panel.
