Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your computer. To prevent static

damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer’s

electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by touching an unpainted

metal surface, such as the metal around the card-slot openings at the back of the computer.

As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface

to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated. In addition to the preceding

precautions, you can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic

discharge (ESD):

•

When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the

component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the

component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to

discharge static electricity from your body.

•

When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or

packaging.

•

Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads

and workbench pads.
