C Electrostatic discharge

Electrostatic discharge is the release of static electricity when two objects come into contact—for

example, the shock you receive when you walk across the carpet and touch a metal door knob.

A discharge of static electricity from fingers or other electrostatic conductors may damage electronic

components. To prevent damage to the computer, damage to a drive, or loss of information, observe

these precautions:

●

If removal or installation instructions direct you to unplug the computer, unplug it after being

properly grounded and before removing a cover.

● Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until you are ready to install them.

●

Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry. Handle electronic components as little as possible.

●

Use nonmagnetic tools.

●

Before handling components, discharge static electricity by touching an unpainted metal surface

of the component.

●

If you remove a component, place it in an electrostatic-safe container.

If you need more information about static electricity or assistance with component removal or

installation, contact HP support.
