Installing Memory Cards
Your Notebook’s computer chips, especially RAM (random access memory),
are extremely static-sensitive. Static electricity can permanently damage
computer chips. It is therefore important to discharge the static electricity from
your body before installing the memory module. Discharge your body’s
electricity by touching the metal shielding around the connectors on the rear of
the Notebook computer. Typical grounds are a radiator or a printer case when
your unit is plugged in. If you regularly work on your Notebook, it may be
beneficial to purchase an anti-static mat or wrist band. Contact your
authorized dealer for details on where anti-static devices can be purchased.
