Preparing to Work Inside the Computer

CAUTION: Only a certified service technician should perform repairs on your computer. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow applicable instructions in the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide that came with the computer.

CAUTION: To prevent static damage to components inside your computer, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer's electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface.

CAUTION: Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a microprocessor by its edges, not by its pins.

Ensure that the work surface is flat and clean to prevent scratching the computer cover.

Disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet.
To avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 10 to 20 seconds and then disconnect any attached devices.
Disconnect all other external cables from the computer.
Remove any installed PC Cards from the PC Card slot.
Close the display and turn the computer upside down on a flat work surface.
