  • Page 45: Preventing Electrostatic Damage To Equipment

    Preventing Electrostatic Damage to Equipment Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and structure determine the degree of sensitivity. The following packaging and grounding precautions are necessary to prevent damage to electric components and accessories. ● To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe containers such as tubes, bags, or boxes.

  • Page 46: Personal Grounding Methods And Equipment

    Personal Grounding Methods and Equipment Use the following equipment to prevent static electricity damage to equipment: ● Wrist straps are flexible straps with a maximum of one-megohm ± 10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, a strap must be worn snug against bare skin. The ground cord must be connected and fit snugly into the banana plug connector on the grounding mat or workstation.

  • Page 59: Removing Memory Modules

    Removing Memory Modules CAUTION: You must disconnect the power cord and wait approximately 30 seconds for the power to drain before adding or removing memory modules. Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always supplied to the memory modules as long as the computer is plugged into an active AC outlet. Adding or removing memory modules while voltage is present may cause irreparable damage to the memory modules or system board.
  • Page 60 Remove the memory module from the socket. Figure 7-7 Removing a DIMM NOTE: A memory module can be installed in only one way.
