My apartment is made with all carpet except for my really small kitchen. But I plan to get a anti static wrist band. I googled how to actually use one, so from what I found out.
They said to attach the band to your arm, and the alligator thing to the computer case, and with the power supply installed and plugged into the wall while having the power supply turned off.
This gets kind of confusing because before installing all the parts, you have to test out if all the parts work. But they also said not to turn on the power supply when it's in your case, while having your band connected to the case. But you need the power to be on to power your motherboard. Or can I just start installing everything into the case without testing...
But after that gets solved, I will be putting everything into the case. So will I be fine with having my anti static wrist band installed onto the case with power supply plugged in but turned off while installing everything into the case. Or do I need to ground myself elsewhere. Thanks in advance
