Handling Static Sensitive Devices
When you handle options such as the hard drive, and other computer components, take
these precautions:
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters and memory-module kits by
the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry.
When you are installing a new option, touch the static-protective package
containing the option to the mounting bracket, which is metal and where the screws
are mounted, on the controller card for at least two seconds. This reduces static
electricity from the package and from your body.
When possible, remove the option and install it directly in the controller without
setting the option down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective
package that the option came in on a smooth, level surface and place the option
on it.
Do not place the option on the printer cover or other metal surface.
