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 your system's electronic components. You can
do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your
body by touching it to an unpainted metal part of the system unit for at least 2 seconds.
Remove the adapter from its packaging and install it directly into your system unit without setting
it down. If it is necessary to set the adapter down, place it in its static-protective package. Do not
place the adapter on your system unit cover or on a metal table.
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and
workbench pads.
Handle the adapter carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
Do not leave the adapter where others can handle and possibly damage the adapter.
Take additional care when handling adapters during cold weather because heating reduces indoor
humidity and increases static electricity.
