Installation Precautions
Before you install any system component, we recommend that you read the
following sections. These sections contain important ESD precautions, pre- and
post-installation instructions.
4.1.1
ESD Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives, expansion
boards, and other components. Always observe the following precautions before
you install a system component:
1.
Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are
ready to install it.
2.
Wear a wrist grounding strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit
before handling components. If a wrist strap is not available, maintain
contact with the system unit throughout any procedure requiring ESD
protection.
