Before you start to work on the system, perform the following steps in the
sequence listed:
1. Turn off your computer and any devices.
2. Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis, such as
the metal around the card-slot openings at the back of the computer, before
touching anything inside your computer.
While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer
chassis to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components.
3. Disconnect your computer and devices from their power sources. Also, discon-
nect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer.
Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock.
