The components inside your computer are extremely sensitive to static 
electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Before opening the computer case, follow these guidelines:

■

Turn off the computer power.

■

Wear a grounding wrist strap (available at most electronics stores) and 
attach it to a bare metal part of your workbench or other grounded 
connection.

■

Touch a bare metal surface on your workbench or other grounded object.

■

Unplug the power cord and modem and network cables.

Before working with computer components, follow these guidelines:

■

Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted floors, plastic, and packing 
foam.

■

Remove components from their antistatic bags only when you are ready 
to use them. Do not lay components on the outside of antistatic bags 
because only the inside of the bags provide electrostatic protection.

■

Avoid touching the edge connectors and components on the Mini-PCI 
cards. Never slide Mini-PCI cards or components over any surface.

ESD can permanently damage electrostatic 
discharge-sensitive components in your computer. 
Prevent ESD damage by following ESD guidelines every 
time you open the computer case.

To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and 
moving parts, turn off your computer and unplug the power 
cord and modem cable before opening the case.

To prevent risk of electric shock, do not insert any object 
into the vent holes of the power supply.
