1. Shut down the computer and turn off the monitor.
Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting Shut Down (Start menu
>> Shut Down). Turn off the monitor after you are sure the computer has powered down.
Important:
Do not attempt to open the computer while the computer is turned on. If you think the
computer is in sleep mode press the power button in front of the computer to wake it, and then shut
down the computer.
2. Remove all cables from the back of the computer, and let the computer cool down.
Unplugging the power cord and cables helps to ensure that no power is running on the
motherboard, which reduces the risk of damage to your equipment. Wait 5 minutes to allow
the computer’s internal components to cool.
3. Discharge static electricity that you may have on your clothes or body.
Use the Anti-Static Wrist Strap that is provided with your Deko1000 or Deko550
Workstation. Also, touch the metal part of the power supply to discharge any static electric
charge that you might be carrying.
4. Remove the top cover from the computer.
Use a Phillips-head (+) screwdriver to remove the screws attaching the top cover to the
computer. Then remove the cover from the computer.
