• Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, memory modules, and other circuit boards by the
edges. Never touch exposed circuitry.
• Prevent others from touching the components.
• Before you install a static-sensitive option or CRU, do either of the following to reduce static electricity in
the package and your body:
– Touch the static-protective package that contains the part to a metal expansion-slot cover for at least
two seconds.
