Removing and Replacing Parts: Dell Precision WorkStation 210 Systems
Precautionary Measures | Procedures
| Recommended Tools
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:
- Turn off the computer and any attached peripherals.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
