e
following precautions before you install a system component.
1.Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until yo
u
are ready to install it.
2.Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the syste
m
unit before handling a component. If a wrist strap is not available,
maintain contact with the system unit throughout any procedure
requiring ESD protection.
