Electrostatic Discharge
Precautions
Follow these ESD precautions:
• Transport the computer and replacement parts in static-safe containers,
such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at
the designated static-free work area.
• Cover the designated work area with approved static-dissipating
material:
– Use an anti-static wriststrap connected to the work surface.
– Use properly grounded tools and equipment.
• Keep the designated work area free of nonconductive materials, such as
ordinary plastic assembly aids and foam packing.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always hold components with a printed circuit board (PCB) by its
edges and place it with the assembly side down.
Pre-configuration
Follow these steps before you remove or install a hardware component.
1. Shut down the computer and all peripherals that are connected to it.
2. Disconnect all cables from power outlets to avoid exposure to high
energy levels.
If necessary, label each cable to expedite reassembly.
3. Disconnect all peripheral cables from the bottom I/O ports.
4. If the computer is table or wall mounted, loosen the mounting screws.
Remove the computer from its mounting.
ATTENTION:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage static-sensitive
devices or microcircuitry:
• Disconnect all power before you work on the computer as detailed in
• Observe proper packaging and grounding techniques to help prevent
damage.
ATTENTION:
Make sure to read and understand all installation and removal
procedures before you configure the computer hardware.
