Handling Precautions
The notebook’s components are easily damaged by static electricity. Observe the
following precautions while handling components and performing upgrades:
•
Power off the notebook before you do any system expansion.
•
Before handling system components, carefully discharge static electricity from
your body by touching an unpainted metal area. While performing upgrades,
ground yourself frequently to discharge any static electricity that may accumulate
on your body.
•
Avoid touching the integrated circuits on a memory module. Handle all
components by the edges.
•
Do not handle a component at a place where static electricity is easily generated,
such as on carpet.
•
Store a memory module in the anti-static wrapping or other conductive shield
such as aluminum foil.
•
Keep a memory module in the anti-static wrapping until installing it.
