4. Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from their electrical outlets, and then press the power button to ground the system board.
5. Open the computer cover.

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the steps in "Safety Instructions."
CAUTION: To prevent static damage to components inside your computer, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of
your computer's electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.
NOTICE: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer and then unplug it from the network wall jack.
CAUTION: To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your computer from the electrical outlet before you open the cover.
NOTICE: Before touching anything inside your computer, ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface, such as the metal at the back of the
computer. While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to dissipate any static electricity that could harm internal components.
CAUTION: The heat sink can get very hot during normal operation. Be sure that the heat sink has had sufficient time to cool before you touch it.
NOTICE: Lay the heat sink down with the thermal material facing upward.
