To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, disconnect the attached power cords, telecommunication systems, networks, and modems before you open the computer covers, unless instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration procedures.
– Power supply units – Pumps – Blowers and fans – Motor generators and similar units. (This practice ensures correct grounding of the units.) • If an electrical accident occurs: – Use caution; do not become a victim yourself. – Switch off power. –...
Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (ICs) should be considered sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between objects. Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the machine, the part, the work mat, and the person handling the part are all at the same charge.
