Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before
you touch anything inside your computer and periodically while you work
inside the computer. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface
on the back of the computer.

You can also take the following steps to prevent static damage:

Do not remove items from their antistatic packing material until you

are ready to install them in your computer. Just before unwrapping the

antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your

body.

When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic

container or packaging.
