Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
NOTICE: Only a certified service technician should perform repairs on your system. Damage
due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty.
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static
damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic
components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an
unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
