•Do not open any panels, operate controls, make adjustments, or perform proce- dures on a laser device other than those specified in the product’s documentation.

•Only authorized service technicians should repair laser devices.

When Working Inside Your Computer

Before you remove the computer covers, perform the following steps in the sequence indicated.

CAUTION: Some Dell systems can be serviced only by trained service tech- nicians because of high voltages and energy hazards. Do not attempt to service the computer system yourself, except as explained in this guide and elsewhere in Dell documentation. Always follow installation and service instructions closely.

NOTICE: To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 sec- onds after turning off the system before removing a component from the system board or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.

1.Turn off your computer and any devices.

2.Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis, such as the metal around the card-slot openings at the back of the computer, before touching anything inside your computer.

While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components.
