ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
A discharge of static electricity from fingers or other electrostatic
conductors may damage electronic components. Before handling
electrostatic-sensitive components, discharge static electricity by
one of the methods described in this appendix.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
When Handling Drives
To prevent electrostatic damage to drives, observe these
precautions:
■ Before handling a removable drive, discharge static electricity
by touching the unpainted metal surface or lug nuts on the
connectors on the back of the computer.
■ Avoid touching connector pins on the computer and on the
drive.
When Installing Internal Components
To prevent electrostatic damage when installing internal
components, observe these precautions:
■ Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until
you are ready to install them.
■ Have everything needed for the installation within reach so
that you do not have to leave the area after beginning
installation.
