Preparing to install components
You must open your server case to install components. If you are not comfortable with
these procedures, get help from a computer service technician or contact Gateway
Technical Support.
Selecting a place to work
Work on your server in an area that:
■
Is clean (avoid dusty areas)
■
Is a low-static environment (avoid carpeted areas)
■
Has a stable surface on which to set your server
■
Has enough room to place all of your server parts
■
Is near a grounded outlet so you can test your server after installation
■
Is near a telephone (in case you need help from Gateway Technical Support). The
telephone must be directly connected to a telephone jack and cannot be connected
to your server.
Gathering the tools you need
Some tools and supplies that you may need to work on your server are:
■ A notebook to take notes
■ A Phillips screwdriver
■ A small flat-blade screwdriver
■ Small containers to store various types of screws
■ A grounding wrist strap (available at most electronic stores)
Getting Help
If you have questions about performing any of these procedures, contact Gateway
Technical Support. For more information, see
