Safety Precautions and Best Practices
1. Electrostatic Discharge
Wear an antistatic wrist strap and work on an antistatic
mat to ground yourself and prevent static electricity from
damaging sensitive computer components.
2. Careful Handling
Handle all components with care, avoiding touching the
metal contacts or pins, and place them on a clean,
static-free surface when not in use.

3. Follow Instructions
Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions
and guidelines when assembling or
disassembling a computer to ensure everything
is installed correctly and safely.
