Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your computer. To
prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before
you touch any of your computer’s electronic components, such as the
microprocessor. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface,
such as the metal around the card-slot openings at the back of the
computer.
As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an
unpainted metal surface to remove any static charge your body may have
accumulated. In addition to the preceding precautions, you can also take
the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge
(ESD):
•
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping
carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing
material until you are ready to install the component in your
computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure
to discharge static electricity from your body.
•
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an
antistatic container or packaging.
•
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use
antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
