Static electricity prevention
Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components and options.

WhenyouhandleoptionsorCRUs,orperformanyworkinsidethecomputer,takethefollowingprecautions
to avoid static-electricity damage:
• Limityourmovement. Movementcancausestaticelectricitytobuilduparoundyou.
• Alwayshandlecomponentscarefully. Handleadapters,memorymodules,andothercircuitboardsbythe
edges. Never touch exposed circuitry.
• Prevent others from touching components.
• Whenyouinstallastatic-sensitiveoptionorCRU,touchthestatic-protectivepackagecontainingthe
