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:

Limit

your

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

and

your

body.

v

possible,

remove

the

option

and

install

it

directly

in

the

computer

without

setting

the

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.
