Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge 

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity 

from your body before you touch any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by 

periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis. 

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD): 

1.  When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from 

the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your system. Just before 

unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body. 

2.  When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging. 

3.  Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench 

pads and an antistatic grounding strap. 

Battery Handling Reminder  

CAUTION:

 This is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. 

Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the 

manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
