Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions

ESD can damage processors, circuit cards, and other electronic components. Always
observe the following precautions before installing a system component.

1. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until 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.
