NOTICE: 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 you disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the computer, perform the following steps before you begin working inside the computer.

1Ensure that the work surface is flat and clean to prevent the computer cover from being scratched.

2Turn off your computer (see page 39).

NOTICE: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer and then unplug it from the network wall jack.

3Disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer.

4Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from their electrical outlets.

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the system board, you must remove the main battery before you service the computer.

5Slide and hold the battery-bay latch release on the bottom of the computer, and then remove the battery from the bay.

6Press the power button to ground the system board.

NOTICE: To connect a network cable, first plug the cable into the network wall jack and then plug it into the computer.

7Remove any installed PC Cards from the PC Card slot.
