Every time you remove the cover, be sure to ground
yourself by touching the inside of the computer’s back

touch.

be sure to position it correctly. Carefully align any
connector pins with the corresponding holes in the socket
before you push in the connector. Otherwise, you can
severely damage the equipment.
