3-2 Disassembly and Reassembly
This chapter contains step-by-step disassembly procedures for the PowerMate eco system. A
disassembly figure is provided with most procedures. Chapter 5 includes a parts list and an
illustrated parts breakdown diagram showing an exploded view of the system.
A small flat-head screwdriver, a small Phillips-head screwdriver, and an antistatic wrist strap are
the only required tools. For complete disassembly of the system unit, follow the disassembly
order listed in the following table. To reassemble, follow the table and procedures in the reverse
order. Where reassembly is not readily apparent, reassembly procedures are provided.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage hard drives, boards, and
other system components. Before opening the system and handling system components, attach
an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to a chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface on the
system) to avoid ESD damage.
Hold a board only by its edges. If removing a board, place it component-side up on a grounded,
static-free surface or in a static-free wrapper. If you are installing a new board, do not remove it
from its protective wrapper until you are ready to install it.
