Before installing new memory modules in your computer, what precautions should you take prior to removing the new modules from the bag and installing them? (Select TWO.)
1. Shut down and unplug the monitor.
2. >>Shutdown the PC and unplug the power cord.
3. Clean the motherboard with an approved cleaner.
4. Wash your hands.
5. >>Put on an antistatic wrist strap and clip it to a chassis ground connection.
Explanation : Before installing the new memory modules, the system should be turned off and unplugged so it does not accidentally start when you are installing the modules. Unplugging the system also cuts off the small amount of current that flows even when the system is turned off.
You should also use an antistatic strap to discharge any static prior to touching the modules. ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) must be prevented because it can cause the failure of the new modules.
Washing your hands, shutting down and unplugging the monitor, and cleaning the motherboard are unnecessary steps and would have no effect on the outcome of the job.
