electricity. Working on computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely
dangerous. Follow the simple guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or injury to
yourself.
• Always disconnect the computer from the power outlet whenever you are working inside the
computer case.
• If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the computer case. Al-
ternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal system of the computer
case, or the bare metal body of any other grounded appliance.
• Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the components on the board
unless it is necessary to do so. Do not ex or stress the circuit board.
• Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging until you are ready to use the compo-
nent for the installation.
