•Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
•Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
•Keep all components, such as the host adapter, in their antistatic bag until you are ready to install them. Likewise, whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with it.
