1. Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord and cables. TURN OFF your
computer before installing or removing any components on the computer.
2. Remove the cover of your computer.
3. Remove the slot cover on the back panel of your computer.
4. Touch the metal part on the surface of your computer to neutralize the static
electricity that might be on your body.
