, INRTODUCTION


Have you ever walked across a carpeted floor and gotten a
shock when you touched a doorknob, table, counter, or
even another person?

That little shock you got was a result of static electricity. It
was also many times what is needed to destroy some
computer components.

, You see, humans can't feel a static shock until it is
several thousand volts strong, but it takes less than
30 volts to damage a sensitive computer
component, such as a stick of RAM or a processor.


That's why computer technicians and home
computer builders have to guard their computers
against the deadly ravages of static electricity, as
well as take steps to avoid injury to yourself. A
shock that you can't even feel can seriously
damage your homebuilt computer before you're
even finished building it.
