Chapter 2: Setting Up
2.0.1 Before you Begin
This chapter explains how to install the CPU, CPU heatsink, memory modules,
and hard drives. Instructions on inserting add-on cards are also given. The
illustrations are representative of the latest system revision available at the time
of publishing. The system you receive may not look exactly like the illustrations
described later.
2.0.2 Work Area
Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get
into components and cause malfunctions. Use containers to keep small
components separated. Putting all small components in separate containers
prevents them from becoming lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools can
prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components.
2.0.3 Tools
The following procedures require only a few tools, including the following:
z A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver
z A grounding strap or an anti-static pad
Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be disconnected with
your hands. It is recommended that you do not use pliers to remove connectors
as it may damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.
