Electrostatic Discharge Safety Measures

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices, such as the motherboards, PCI cards,
drives, and memory cards, require special handling.
Caution – Circuit boards and drives contain electronic components that are
extremely sensitive to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of static electricity from
clothing or the work environment can destroy the components located on these
boards. Do not touch the components along their connector edges.
Caution – You must disconnect both power supplies before servicing any of the
components documented in this chapter.
