Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your computer. To prevent

static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of

your computer’s electronic components, such as a memory module. You can do so

by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer’s I/O panel.

As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an I/O connector to

remove any static charge your body may have accumulated.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge

(ESD):

• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not

remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to

install the component. 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.

• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic

floor pads and workbench pads.
