Chapter 15: Upgrading Your Gateway M275 Preventing static electricity discharge The components inside your convertible tablet PC are extremely sensitive to static electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge (ESD). Warning ESD can permanently damage electrostatic discharge-sensitive components in your convertible tablet PC. Prevent ESD damage by following ESD guidelines every time you install memory or replace the hard drive. Warning To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and moving parts, turn off your convertible tablet PC and unplug the power cord and modem and network cables before opening the case. Before installing memory or replacing the hard drive, follow these guidelines: ■ Turn off your convertible tablet PC. ■ Wear a grounding wrist strap (available at most electronics stores) and attach it to a bare metal part of your workbench or other grounded connection. Warning To prevent risk of electric shock, do not insert any object into the vent holes of your convertible tablet PC. ■ Touch a bare metal surface on your workbench or other grounded object. ■ Unplug the power cord and the modem and network cables. ■ Remove the battery. For more information, see "Changing batteries" on page 159. ■ Disconnect all peripheral devices and remove any PC Cards. 254 www.gateway.com
