Electrostatic Discharge
When you handle field-replaceable units (FRUs) and other computer parts, take these
precautions to avoid static damage:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
v Always touch computer parts carefully. Hold adapters and memory-modules by their
edges. Never touch any exposed circuits.
v Prevent people who are not correctly grounded from touching computer parts.
v Before you install a new part, touch the static-protective package that contains the
part against an unpainted metal part of the 2104 or using system for at least two
seconds. This action reduces static electricity in the package and in your body.
v Remove the part from its package and, if possible, install it directly into the 2104
without putting the part down. If you need to put the part down, first place the
static-protective package that contained the part onto a smooth, level surface, then
place the part onto the package.
v Do not place the part onto any metal surface.
