A technician is replacing the power supply in a computer. Which of the following safety measures should the technician take to protect the computer?
When replacing a power supply in a computer, wearing an antistatic wrist strap is crucial to prevent static electricity from damaging the computer components. Static electricity can easily damage sensitive electronic components within the computer; therefore, using an antistatic wrist strap helps to ground the technician, mitigating the risk of electrostatic discharge. The other options provide general safety but do not address the primary concern of electrostatic discharge in this context.
Reference: CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) objectives covering best practices for hardware maintenance, including electrostatic discharge prevention.
