Opening the Computer Cabinet

Warning! Prevent static electric damage. Avoid touching any electronic components. Static discharge can cause severe damage to electronic equipment, but here are some easy ways to see that it doesn't happen:

ÞDon't touch edge connectors or exposed circuitry.

ÞIf possible, ground your body. A metal power supply in your computer is generally considered the best place to ground yourself.

ÞMake as few movements as possible to avoid building up static electricity from your clothing, carpets and furniture.

1.Switch off your computer and all external options (printer, display, and others) and unplug all power cables from the electrical source.

Physically remove the power cable from the system and wait 15-30 seconds for Flea Power to dissipate. Damage can occur to add-in components if power is not physically disconnected from the system during installation procedures.

2.Remove the cover of the computer. Refer to the instructions in your computer’s manual for more information.
