Exam 220-1102 topic 1 question 60 discussion

The CPU is not a hot-swappable component, so you would need to remove the power first. Then, just use an ESD strap to protect the equipment from Electrostatic discharge. Therefore, A and B are the best answers.

You protect against ESD with the wrist strap and protect the components (and yourself) by disconnecting from the power because a CPU is not a hot swappable piec of equipment

An Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) strap helps to prevent static electricity from building up on the technician's body and potentially damaging sensitive electronic components inside the computer. Using an ESD strap ensures that any static charge is safely discharged to ground, protecting the internal components from electrostatic damage. Grounding equipment, including the computer and work surface, helps to dissipate any static electricity and prevents electrostatic discharge from damaging internal components. Ensuring that the equipment is properly grounded provides an additional layer of protection against ESD during the component replacement process. Utilizing an ESD strap (option A) and ensuring equipment is grounded (option F) are the best safety procedures to protect internal components during the processor replacement process.

Use an ESD strap & unplug the computer from power? I don't know....better go ask chatgpt, he'll know what to do.

You'll need to protect computer from ESD. Computer must be grounded!

Would it not be A & F? The question is asking to protect the components in the computer. So if the components are grounded and using EDS strap, it will prevent the components from being damaged? Correct me if I am wrong please.

A. Utilizing an ESD strap and C. Placing the PSU in an antistatic bag are the best safety procedures to protect the internal components in the PC. An ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) strap helps to prevent damage to sensitive electronic components by grounding the technician, thereby preventing any static electricity discharge. Placing the Power Supply Unit (PSU) in an antistatic bag can also protect it from electrostatic discharge during the replacement process. Disconnecting the computer from the power source is also important to prevent electrical shocks, but it will not protect the internal components from ESD. Ensuring proper ventilation and removing dust from the ventilation fans are important for maintaining the computer's cooling system but do not protect the internal components during a processor replacement. Ensuring equipment is grounded is also important but may not be sufficient to protect against ESD.

These are the two which can damage the computer parts if not done
