Precautionary Measures

Before you remove or replace parts in the computer, read the following warning for your personal safety and to prevent damage to the system from ESD.

WARNING: For your personal safety and protection of the equipment, perform the following steps in the sequence listed before you start to work on the computer:

  1. Turn off the computer and any attached peripherals.
  2. Wear a wrist grounding strap, and clip it to an unpainted metal surface, such as the padlock loop on the back of the chassis. If a wrist grounding strap is not available, touch any unpainted metal surface on the back of the computer or on the computer chassis, such as the power supply, to discharge any static charge from your body before touching anything inside the computer.
  3. If you are disconnecting a peripheral from the computer or are removing a component from the system board, wait 10 to 20 seconds after disconnecting the computer from AC power before disconnecting the peripheral or removing the component to avoid possible damage to the system board.
  4. While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components. Also avoid touching components or contacts on a card and avoid touching pins on a chip.Disconnect the computer and peripherals from their AC power sources. Also, disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer. Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock.
  5. Verify that the standby LED is not on. If it is on, you may need to wait 10 to 30 seconds for it to go out.

  • You have the recommended tools.
