Precautions to Avoid Electrostatic

Discharges

Before installing a new component, to avoid electrostatic discharges (ESD) always follow these precautions

•Electrostatic discharges can cause permanent damage to your computer.

•Do not remove a component from its anti-static wrapping unless you are ready to install it.

•Wear an anti-static wrist bracelet before handling electronic components. Most of the electronic components resellers also sell this kind of bracelets.

•As a precaution to reduce the consequences of electrostatic discharges, keep one of your hands in contact with the external metallic case of your system.

Putting the Covering Panel Back

After you finish operating inside your computer, put the lateral panels back in place, maintaining their original positioning.

1 • Insert the protruding indented parts (they have the shape of small metallic indentations, and they are placed on the lateral covering upper and lower parts) into the chassis slots, so that they can fit and slide to close the chassis.

2 • Slide the covering forward, and put the screws back in place.

Note: To easily put the lateral covers back in place, align all the indentations to the corresponding chassis slots, paying particular attention to the fact that both the upper and lower indentations should be aligned. Fitting all indentations in the right slot makes the cover slide easily and smoothly towards the front of your computer.
