How do I prevent electrostatic discharge damage when working inside the computer?

Always ensure you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object before handling components. Use wrist straps with a maximum of one-megohm ± 10% resistance connected to a grounding mat, and transport components in static-safe containers such as tubes, bags, or boxes. Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at a static-free workstation. (Page 21)
