The problem here is that you may encounter high voltages in the power supply. So wearing an antistatic wrist strap may put you at a greater risk of electric shock. Besides, there are few if any sensitive electronic components inside the power supply unit.

In addition, make sure the power supply is not connected to any power before servicing it. If you need to go near any large capacitors, you will want to discharge them. In fact that is a good precaution to take any time you remove the circuit board from the power supply unit.
