Keep a static-sensitive component in its antistatic packing material until you are ready
to install the component in the computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic pack-
aging, discharge static electricity from your body.
Make sure you have adequate lighting and a clean work space. If you temporarily dis-
connect cables or remove expansion cards, note the position of the connectors and
slots so that you can reassemble the computer correctly. Also note the extra connec-
tors available for upgrades.
