Lenovo S9E, S10E manual Not all such appliances cause a significant electrostatic charge

–Avoid directly exposing your computer to the air from an appliance that can produce negative ions.

–Keep your computer and peripherals as far as possible from such an appliance.

–Wherever possible, ground your computer to facilitate safe electrostatic discharge.

Note:

Not all such appliances cause a significant electrostatic charge.

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.
