3These procedures assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment.

3Set up an equipment log to record the system model and serial numbers, all installed options, and other information about the system. If you need this information, it will be easier to consult the log than to open up and examine the system.

3HP recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam pad when working on the system.

3Disconnect the system from any telecommunications links, networks,

or modems, and then disconnect the system power source before performing any of the procedures described in this guide. Failure to do so before you open the system or do any procedures can result in personal injury or equipment damage.

Note: Disconnect the modem/phone cable before disconnecting the power cord from the system.

To gain access to the inside of the computer, remove the side panel.
