IMPORTANT: Before opening your computer, turn it off and unplug all the cables,
including the power cord.
Opening the Computer
1. Carefully lay the system case on its side.
2. Remove the system case cover.
3. Remove the screw from the first expansion port cover (for the CPU card).
4. Pull out the port access cover and set it aside.
NOTE: You will not need the port cover for the rest of these instructions, but save it
in case you need to cover the port again.
WARNING!
Before handling any components, discharge static electricity from your
body by using a grounded wrist strap or by touching the unpainted metal part of the
case or the power supply case. While working inside the computer, ground yourself
frequently to discharge any static electricity that may have accumulated in your body.
5. Align the connector end of the CPU card with the CPU card slot. Ensure that the
other end of the card fits into the proper card guide toward the front of the
system case. Press the card gently but firmly until the connector is fully inserted.
Do not rock the card side to side, instead press the card straight into the slot.
