|
| Disconnect the system from its power source and from any telecommunication links, networks, or | ||
|
|
| |||
Sony |
|
|
| modems before you open the system. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or equipment | |
|
|
| damage. |

|
|
| Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage memory modules and other components. Install the memory | ||
|
|
|
| module only at an ESD workstation. If such a station is not available, do not work in a carpeted area, and | |
|
|
|
| do not handle materials that produce or hold static electricity (cellophane wrappers, for example). | |
|
|
|
| Ground yourself by maintaining contact with an unpainted metal portion of the chassis while | |
|
|
|
| performing the procedure. |
|
|
|
| Do not open the memory module package until you are ready to install the module. The package | ||
|
|
|
| protects the module from ESD. |
|
|
|
| Use the special bag delivered with the memory module, or wrap the module in aluminium foil to protect | ||
|
|
|
| it from electrostatic discharge. |
|
|
|
| Do not place the memory module in places subject to: |
| |
|
|
|
| - Heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, |
|
|
|
|
| - Direct sunlight, |
|
|
|
|
| - Excessive dust, |
|
|
|
|
| - Mechanical vibration or shock, |
|
|
|
|
| - Strong magnets or speakers that are not magnetically shielded, |
|
|
|
|
| - Ambient temperature of more than +35°C or less than +5°C, |
|
|
|
|
| - High humidity. |
