Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, 
discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components, 
such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal 
surface on the chassis. 

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD): 

 

1.  When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not 

remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to 
install the component in your system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic 
packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body. 

2.  When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or 

packaging. 

3.  Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic 

floor pads, workbench pads, and an antistatic grounding strap.
