Mistakes when installing or removing a memory module may cause a malfunction. Disconnect the system from its power source and from any telecommunications links, networks, or modems before you open the system. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives and other components. Perform the procedures described below only at an ESD workstation. If such a station is not available, do not work in a carpeted area, and do not handle materials that produce or hold static electricity (cellophane wrappers, for example). Ground yourself by maintaining contact with an unpainted metal portion of the chassis while performing the procedure. Do not open the memory module package until you are ready to install the module. The package protects the module from ESD. Use the special bag for preventing ESD or use aluminum foil when you store the memory module.
