In order to avoid any incidents of shock or personal mishap, extreme care must be taken when working with parts and in setting up your computer, so computer safety is a must.

Here is a list of Do's and dont's

• Make sure that the power supply is unplugged. Some may say to keep the plug in as a method of grounding. I however do not recommend this since accidents can happen. LEAVE the plug out of the outlet to prevent accidentally putting on the current.
• Buy an anti-static wrist strap or make sure that you are properly grounded.
• Do not remove parts from its anti-static bag before you are ready to use them.
• Do not touch electrical contacts on parts with your hands.
• Read all instructions before installation.
• Stay away from magnets or any item with magnets ie: speakers. Information written on electronic chips are written in code just as your hard drive, This can be easily erased if placed near magnets. Many electronic enthusiasts make this common mistake.
• Read the article on Static electricity.
