Your computer is designed and manufactured to minimize any effects of
electrostatic charge. An electrostatic charge above a certain limit,
however, can increase the risk of ESD. Therefore, when using the
computer close to an appliance that can produce negative ions, give
special attention to the following:
- Avoid directly exposing your computer to the air from an appliance

that can produce negative ions.

- Keep your computer and peripherals as far as possible from such an

appliance.

- Wherever possible, ground your computer to facilitate safe

electrostatic discharge.

Notice of static-electricity

When you handle options or CRUs, or perform any work inside the
computer, take the following precautions to avoid static-electricity
damage:
- Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build

up around you.

- Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, memory

modules, and other circuit boards by the edges. Never touch exposed
circuitry.

- Prevent others from touching components.
