1. Be Static-Free

Memory modules are among the most susceptible of all PC components to damage from static electricity. Before you take your new modules from their antistatic bag, put on your antistatic wrist strap (shown) and clip it to a grounded metal object (such as a screw--slightly loosened and preferably unpainted--that holds the faceplate on an AC outlet). If you choose not to use a wrist strap, remember to ground yourself by touching a grounded metal object before touching your new memory modules or any of your system's internal components.
