When handling computer products, you must take care to prevent components
from being damaged by static electricity. Before opening your computer or
removing parts from their packages, always ground yourself first by touching a
metal part of the computer, such as a port access cover, and work in an area free
of static electricity; avoid carpeted areas. Handle all electronic components by
their edges, and avoid touching connector traces and component pins.
