„Notice of static-electricity

When you handle options or CRUs, or perform any work inside the computer, take the following precautions to avoid static-electricity damage:

-Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

-Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, memory modules, and other circuit boards by the edges. Never touch exposed circuitry.

-Prevent others from touching components.

-When you install a static-sensitive option or CRU, touch the static-

protective package containing the part to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body.

-Whenever possible, remove the static-sensitive part from the static-

protective packaging and install the part without setting it down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective packaging on a smooth, level surface and place the part on it.

-Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.

„Being gentle with your computer

•Avoid placing any objects (including paper) between the display and the keyboard or under the keyboard.

•Do not drop, bump, scratch, twist, hit, vibrate, push, or place heavy objects on your computer, display, or external devices.

•Avoid turning the display beyond 130°.
