Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge is the release of static electricity when two objects
come into contact—for example, the shock you receive when you walk across the
carpet and touch a metal door knob.
A discharge of static electricity from fingers or other electrostatic
conductors may damage electronic components.
To prevent damage to the computer, damage to a drive, or loss of information,
observe these precautions:
- If removal or installation instructions direct you to unplug the computer, first be sure that it is properly grounded.
- Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until you are ready to install them.
- Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry. Handle electronic components as little as possible.
- Use nonmagnetic tools.
- Before handling components, discharge static electricity by touching an unpainted metal surface.
- If you remove a component, place it in an electrostatic-safe container.
