Chapter 5. Installing options
You can expand the capabilities of your computer by adding memory, drives,
or adapters. When adding an option, use these instructions along with the
instructions that come with the option.
Important: Before you install any option, see the safety notices in the Quick
Reference and read the “Safety information” on page iii. These precautions and
guidelines will help you work safely.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer
components and options.
When you add an option, do not open the static-protective package containing
the option until you are instructed to do so.
When you handle options and other computer components, take these
precautions to avoid static electricity damage:
v
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up
around you.
v
Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters and memory modules
by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry.
v
Prevent others from touching components.
v
When you install a new option, touch the static-protective package
containing the option to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted
metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static
electricity in the package and your body.
v
When possible, remove the option and install it directly in the computer
without setting the option down. When this is not possible, place the
static-protective package that the option came in on a smooth, level surface
and place the option on it.
v
Do not place the option on the computer cover or other metal surface.
