C.1 Removing Glue from Your System
To protect components from damage and ensure proper operation out of the box, glue
may have been applied to some cables or connectors to keep them in place during
shipping. This glue must be removed before attempting to swap components or
perform maintenance. This section details the steps needed to remove the glue.
Before performing any kind of system maintenance, ensure the system is shut down
(not in sleep or hibernate mode) and the power cable has been removed. Follow steps
in Chapter 2 to access the components inside.
You will need the following items for this step:
- Cotton or cotton swab
- Anti-static tweezers
- An alcohol solution that is at least 99.5% alcohol (ethanol solution or denatured
alcohol). AAEON recommends using an eye dropper or a bottle with a nozzle as in the
picture below:
