electricity when installing or removing any optional devices.

Wear a wrist strap on your wrist. If no wrist strap is available, touch an unpainted metal part of the cabinet
before touching a component to discharge static electricity from your body.
Also discharge static electricity by periodically touching a metal surface while working on the components.
