elastic strap at the other. Wear the strap around your wrist and attach
the clip to any non-painted metal surface of your computer chassis.
» If you do not have a grounding strap, touch any non-painted surface
of your computer chassis before you begin installation, and again
every minute or so until the installation is completed.

installation procedures in this manual apply generally and you should
compare the illustrations here with your computer.
