III.8) Protecting against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm or destroy electronic components inside the computer.
To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of
your comp uter’s electronic components. You can do so by touching any unpainted metal
surface on the back of the computer.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) :
- 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.
Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from
your body.
- When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or
packaging.
- Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads
and workbench pads.
