Follow these precautions to avoid electrostatic damage to your computer
components:
Avoid static-causing surfaces such as plastic and packing foam in your
work area.
Remove the parts from their antistatic bags only when you are ready to
use them. Do not lay parts on the outside of antistatic bags since only
the inside of a bag provides antistatic protection.
Always hold cards by their edges or their metal mounting brackets. Avoid
touching components on the cards and the edge connectors that connect
to expansion slots.
Never slide cards or other parts over any surface.
Warning Avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and
moving parts, by turning off your computer and unplugging
the power cord and modem cord before removing the
computer cover.
