7 UPGRADING

This chapter contains instructions on installing upgrades or add-onsin the computer (with the exception of expansion cards which are dealt with in the preceding chapter).

Read this chapter before purchasing an upgrade. If, having read the relevant instructions, you are not confident about installing the upgrade, you may wish to have your supplier or service organization install it for you.

Before you start installing any upgrade you should be thoroughly familiar with all the relevant instructions.

Appendix A, “Inside the System Unit”, provides an overview of anti- static precautions, instructions on removing the system unit top cover, and information on motherboard jumpers.

The only tool required to complete the installation of any of the upgrades is a small cross-head screwdriver.

Warning

Never carry out any work inside the computer with AC power applied. Always turn off the computer and unplug all power cords before starting work.
