Disassembly and Reassembly 3-3
!
Use extreme care in disconnecting and connecting cables to prevent
breakage. Do not pull on the cable, pull only on the connector.
!
Label any cable connector before removing it. Note where the connector
goes and in what position it was installed.
On completion of any reassembly, perform a power-on test. If a fault occurs,
verify that the reassembly was performed correctly.
Before handling boards or chips, ground yourself to release
static.
Hard Drive Removal
Remove the 2 1/2-inch hard drive as follows.
1. Close all applications, shut down the operating system, turn off system unit
power, and unplug the AC power adapter and power cable from the power
source and the back of the system unit.
2. Turn off and disconnect all peripherals.
3.
Position the system unit so that the right side is facing you. Swivel the LCD
panel away from the side so that is not blocking your view of the side.
4. Remove the hard drive panel by carefully prying out the panel with your
finger. Use care to prevent marring of the system unit.
