Static Electricity Prevention - Lenovo ThinkCentre A57e Safety And Warranty Manual

Note: Some computer parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer.
Upgrades typically are referred to as options. Replacement parts approved for
customer installation are referred to as Customer Replaceable Units, or CRUs.
Lenovo provides documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for
customers to install options or replace CRUs. You must closely follow all
instructions when installing or replacing parts. The Off state of a power
indicator does not necessarily mean that voltage levels inside a product are
zero. Before you remove the covers from a product equipped with an ac power
cord, always make sure that the power is turned off and that the product is
unplugged from any power source. For more information on CRUs, refer to the
ThinkCentre Hardware Installation and Replacement Guide for this product. If you
have any questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support Center.
Although there are no moving parts in your computer after the power cord has
been disconnected, the following warnings are required for your safety.
DANGER
Hazardous moving parts. Keep fingers and other body parts away.
CAUTION
Before replacing any CRUs, turn off the computer and wait three to
five minutes to let the computer cool before opening the cover.

Static electricity prevention

Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer
components and options. Improper handling of static-sensitive parts can cause
damage to the part. When you unpack an option or CRU, do not open the
static-protective package containing the part until the instructions direct you to
install it.
