When handling computer products, you must take care to prevent components 
from being damaged by static electricity. Before opening your computer or 
removing parts from their packages, always ground yourself first by touching 
a metal part of the computer, such as a port access cover, and work in an area 
free of static electricity; avoid carpeted areas. Handle all electronic components
