For more information about Setup Utility/Computer Setup, refer to the appropriate Setup Utility chapter in this guide.
1.If the computer is already on, turn it off and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock and/or hot surfaces, be sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet, and allow the internal system components to cool before touching.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug telecommunications or telephone connectors into the network interface controller (NIC) receptacles.
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional equipment. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. See Appendix C, “Electrostatic Discharge,” for more information.
2.Open the computer by removing its access panels. See the procedures for removing the computer access panels later in this chapter.
