Safety with Electricity
Observe these guidelines and safety precautions when working around computer
hardware and electrical equipment:
Locate the power source shutoff for the computer room or lab where you are
working. This is where you will turn OFF the power in the event of an
emergency or accident. Never assume that power has been disconnected
for a circuit; always check first.
Do not wear loose clothing. Fasten your tie or scarf, remove jewelry, and roll
up your sleeves. Wear safety glasses when working under any conditions
that might be hazardous to your eyes.
Shut down and disconnect the system’s power supply from AC service
before you begin work, to insure that standby power is not active. Power off
all attached devices such as monitors, printers, and external components.
Note that many motherboards and power supplies maintain standby power
at all times. Inserting or removing components while standby is active can
damage them.
Use normal precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge, which can
damage integrated circuits.
