Chapter 5. Installing options

You can expand the capabilities of your computer by adding more memory or optional PCI adapters. Use the instructions in this chapter along with instructions that might come with the option.

This chapter includes information about removing the rear cover, and the hard disk drive. To replace these items, you can generally reverse the removal procedure. If you need additional information when replacing the hard disk drive and covers, look in the removal procedures.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components and options. When you add an option, do not open the static- protective package containing the option until you are instructed to do so.

When you handle options and other computer components, take these precautions to avoid static electricity damage:

•Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

•Always handle components carefully.

•Handle adapters and memory modules by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry.

•Prevent others from touching components.

•When you install a new option, touch the static-protective package containing the option to an unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body.

•When possible, remove the option and install it directly in the computer without setting the option down. When this is not possible, place the static- protective package that the option came in on a smooth, level surface and place the option on it.

•Do not place the option on the computer cover or other metal surface.
