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