WhenWorkingInsideaComputer

Before taking covers off a computer, perform the following steps:

1.Turn off the computer and any peripherals

2.Disconnect the computer and peripherals from their power sources to prevent electric shock or system board damage.

3.Disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.

In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:

To help avoid possible damage to systems boards, wait five seconds after turning off the computer before removing a component, removing a system board, or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.

When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs. If you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before connecting a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to service the system yourself except as explained in this manual. Follow installation instructions closely.
