Chapter 10 Preparing to Replace Components 10-3
Caution – The boards and hard drives contain electronic components that are
extremely sensitive to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of static electricity from
clothing or the work environment can destroy components. Do not touch the
components along their connector edges.
Caution – Wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat when handling
components such as drive assemblies, boards, or cards. When servicing or removing
workstation components, attach an antistatic strap to your wrist and then to a metal
area on the chassis. Then disconnect the power cord from the workstation and the
wall receptacle. Following this caution equalizes all electrical potentials with the
workstation.
