Static Electricity Precautions
Under the right conditions, static electricity will build up. If you
touch the mainboard or other sensitive components, the buHd-up will
discharge into the components and circuitry. Computer components
are sensitive to damage from static electric discharge. They can be
damaged or destroyed if the discharge is powerful enough. Static
build-up is most likely to occur in dryer and cooler conditions, but
it is always important to be cautious.
