Additional safety guidelines:

 When you disconnect a cable, pull the connector or the strain-relief loop, not the cable

itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type

of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull

connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also,

before you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and

aligned.

 Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a

card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such

as a microprocessor chip by its edges, not by its pins.

Protecting against Electro Static Discharge (ESD):

 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

Electro Static 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.
