What to Do
Caution – Dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) are made of electronic
components that are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Static electricity from
your clothes or work environment can destroy the DIMM. Do not remove any
DIMM from its antistatic packaging until you are ready to install it. Handle the
modules only by their edges. Do not touch the components or any metal parts,
including the gold contacts on the bottom edge of the module. Always wear a
grounding strap when you handle the modules.
