Avoid carpets in cool, dry areas. Leave PC cards and memory
modules in their anti-static packaging until ready to be installed. |
|
Dissipate static electricity before handling any system components
(PC cards, memory modules) by touching a grounded metal object,
such as the system unit unpainted metal chassis. |
|
If possible, use antistatic devices, such as wrist straps and floor mats. |
|
Always hold a PC card or memory module by its edges. Avoid
touching the contacts and components on the memory module. |
|
Take care when connecting or disconnecting cables. A damaged cable
can cause a short in the electrical circuit. |
|
Prevent damage to the connectors by aligning connector pins before
you connect the cable. Misaligned connector pins can cause damage to system components at
power-on. |
|
When disconnecting a cable, always pull on the cable connector or
strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. |
