Chapter 2. Installing options

This chapter provides instructions for installing optional memory, PCI adapters, drives, and security features. When installing an option, use these instructions along with the instructions that come with the option. Use these procedures also if you are replacing any of these options as a customer replaceable unit (CRU). See Appendix A, “Replacing customer replaceable units (CRU),” on page 31 for other CRUs.

Important

Before you install or remove any option, read “Important safety information” on page v. These precautions and guidelines will help you work safely.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components and options.

When you add an option, do not open the static-protective package containing the option until you are instructed to do so.

When you handle options and other computer components, take these precautions to avoid static electricity damage:

vLimit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

vAlways handle components carefully. Handle adapters and memory modules by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry.

vPrevent others from touching components.

vWhen you install a new option, touch the static-protective package containing the option to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body.

vWhen possible, remove the option and install it directly in the computer without setting the option down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective package that the option came in on a smooth, level surface and place the option on it.

vDo not place the option on the computer cover or other metal surface.

Installing external options

This section shows the various external connectors on your computer to which you can attach external options, such as external speakers, a printer, or a scanner. For some external options, you must install additional software in addition to making the physical connection. When adding an external option, use the information in this section to identify the required connector, and then use the instructions that come with the option to help you make the connection and install any software or device drivers that are required for the option.
