WARNING:
When handling computer products, take care to
prevent components from being damaged by static electricity;
avoid working in carpeted areas. Handle processor upgrade cards only
by their edges and avoid touching connector traces and component
pins. Also, avoid touching the logic board and any of its components.

while, allow 20 minutes for it to completely cool before begin-
ning the installation.

can work freely, disconnect any connected cables, move the com-

electrical outlet.
3. Touch a port access cover on the back of the computer to dis-
charge any potential damaging static electricity (Figure 29).

To avoid generating a static charge in your
body, do not walk around the room until after you finish
installing the Encore card and close the computer.
