Installing System Components

Safety Measures

System components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by
discharges of static electricity. Working on systems that are still connected to
a power supply can be extremely dangerous. To avoid injury to yourself or
damage to system, follow these guidelines:
• If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the
system chassis. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching
the bare metal chassis of the system chassis, or the bare metal body of any
other grounded appliance.
• Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the
components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Do not flex or
stress the circuit board.
• Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging until you are ready
to use the component for the installation.
