Unpacking Your Hardware
Option
When you remove an option from its shipping carton,
you may find it wrapped in antistatic packing material
designed to protect it from electrostatic damage. Do not
remove the packing material until you are ready to install
the option.
Inside Your Computer
In Figures 6-3 and 6-4, the computer cover is removed to
provide interior views. These illustrations also identify
features on the front and back of the computer. Refer to
them to locate interior features and components dis-
cussed later in this guide.
When you look inside your computer, note the direct cur-
rent (DC) power cables coming from the power supply.
These cables supply power to the system board, the exter-
nally accessible drives, and the internal hard-disk drives.
Expansion cards obtain power through the system board.
CAUTION: See “Protecting Against Electrostatic
Discharge” in the safety instructions at the front
of this guide.
