Performing the RAM Upgrade
Caution
Caution
A static charge of almost
40,000
volts can be generated on a
carpeted floor. This exceeds the limits of these RAM boards
and can cause unsuccessful operation or damage.
Integrated circuits on printed circuit boards can be damaged by
electrostatic discharge. Use the following precautions:
• Use the grounding wrist strap supplied with this upgrade.
Follow the instructions printed on the strap's package.
• Do not wear clothing subject to static charge buildup, such
as wool or synthetic materials.
• Do not handle integrated circuits in carpeted areas.
• Do not remove the device from its anti-static bag until you
are ready to install it.
• Avoid touching circuit leads as much as possible.
RAM boards must be removed from the highest-numbered slots
first.
