reduce the possible adverse effects of static electricity, note the

following points when installing any component(s) or upgrade:

•

avoid working in areas where there are man-made fibres, such

as nylon carpets and nylon clothing

•

after the computer is disconnected from the mains, touch the

metalwork of the case while performing the upgrade to ensure

that you and the computer are at an equal potential

•

avoid touching the pins on the card during fitting.
