When Working Inside Your Computer

Notice:

Do not attempt to service the computer system yourself, except as explained in

this guide and elsewhere in Intel documentation. Always follow installation and

service instructions closely.

1.

Turn off your computer and any peripherals.

2.

Disconnect your computer and peripherals from their power sources. Also disconnect any

telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.

Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock.

Also note these safety guidelines:

•

When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the

cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this

type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnect the cable. As you pull

connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also,

before you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

•

Handle components and cards with care. Don’t touch the components or contacts on a

card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such

as a microprocessor chip by its edges, not by its pins.

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.
