Preventing static electricity discharge
The components inside your computer are extremely sensitive to static
electricity, also known as
electrostatic discharge
(ESD).
Before opening the computer case, follow these guidelines:
■
Turn off the computer power.
■
Wear a grounding wrist strap (available at most electronics stores) and
attach it to a bare metal part of the computer.
■
Touch a bare metal surface on the back of the computer.
Caution
ESD can permanently damage electrostatic discharge
sensitive components in the computer. Prevent ESD
damage by following ESD guidelines every time you open
the computer case.
Warning
To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and
moving parts, turn off your computer and unplug the power
cord and modem cable before opening the case.
Warning
To prevent risk of electric shock, do not insert any object
into the vent holes of the power supply.
