Safety with Electricity
Observe these guidelines and safety precautions when working around computer
hardware and electrical equipment:
•
Locate the power source shutoff for the computer room or lab where you are
working. This is where you will turn OFF the power in the event of an emergency
or accident. Never assume that power has been disconnected for a circuit; always
check first.
•
Do not wear loose clothing. Fasten your tie or scarf, remove jewelry, and roll up
your sleeves. Wear safety glasses when working under any conditions that might
be hazardous to your eyes.
•
Shut down and disconnect the system's power supply from AC service before you
begin work, to insure that standby power is not active. Power off all attached
devices such as monitors, printers, and external components. Note that many
motherboards and power supplies maintain standby power at all times. Inserting
or removing components while standby is active can damage them.
•
Use normal precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge, which can damage
integrated circuits.
