Preventing static electricity 
discharge
The components inside your computer are extremely sensitive to static 
electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Before installing memory or replacing the hard drive kit, follow these 
guidelines:
Turn off your notebook.
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 the modem and network cables.
Remove the main battery (and secondary battery, if installed). For more 
information, see “Changing batteries” on page 151.
Disconnect all peripheral devices and remove any PC Cards.
Caution
ESD can permanently damage electrostatic 
discharge-sensitive components in your notebook. Prevent 
ESD damage by following ESD guidelines every time you 
install memory or replace the hard drive kit.
Warning
To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and 
moving parts, turn off your notebook and unplug the power 
cord and modem and network cable before opening the 
case.
Warning
To prevent risk of electric shock, do not insert any object 
into the vent holes of the notebook.
