•
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static-electricity to build up around
you.
•
Always handle parts and other computer components carefully. Handle
adapters, memory modules, system boards, and microprocessors by the
edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry.
•
Prevent others from touching the parts and other computer components.
•
Before you replace a new part, touch the static-protective package containing
the part to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on
the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity in the
package and your body.
•
When possible, remove the new part from the static-protective packaging,
and install it directly in the computer without setting the part down. When this
is not possible, place the static-protective package that the part came in on a
smooth, level surface and place the part on it.
•
Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.
