Electrostatic Discharge

A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other electrostatic

conductor may damage electronic components. Before handling

electrostatic-sensitive components, discharge static electricity by one

the methods described in this appendix.

Before handling a drive, discharge static electricity by touching

the unpainted metal surface or lug nuts on the connectors on the

rear of the computer.

Avoid touching connector pins on the computer or a drive.

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.

Use nonmagnetic tools.

Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry. Handle electronic

components as little as possible.

If you remove a component, place it in an electrostatic-safe

container.
