A discharge of static electricity from fingers or other electrostatic
conductors may damage electronic components. Before handling
electrostatic-sensitive components, discharge static electricity by
using one of the methods described in this chapter.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Handling Drives
■
Before handling a drive, discharge static electricity by
touching the unpainted metal surface or lug nuts on the
connectors on the back of the notebook.
■
Avoid touching connector pins on the notebook, a drive, or a
drive adapter.
Installing Internal Components
■
Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until
you are ready to install them.
■
Have everything needed for the installation within reach so
that you do not have to leave the area after beginning the
installation.
■
Use nonmagnetic tools.
