his chapter tells you how to take the top cover off your
computer prior to fitting any internal upgrades.
You can increase the power and versatility of your computer by fitting upgrades or
expansion cards. Your supplier will know what upgrades are available. For example,
you can expand your computer's memory by fitting extra RAM.
You should receive precise fitting instructions for upgrades or expansion cards when
you buy them from your supplier. However, to be able to fit them, you first need to
know how to open the computer's plastic cover and what to look for inside.
Acorn Computers Limited cannot accept any liability for damage done to the product
during the installation of internal upgrades whether or not carried out in accordance
with the instructions in this chapter. If you don't feel confident about carrying out any
of the instructions in this chapter, ask your supplier to fit upgrades for you (a charge
may be levied by the supplier for installing any upgrades; such a charge shall be
entirely at the discretion of the supplier concerned).
Before you start
You'll need a small cross-head screwdriver, and a firm, flat, non-slippery surface to
work on. For example, cover a table with a woollen blanket (a synthetic blanket could
cause a static electrical discharge which would damage the computer).
1. Follow the instructions in Switching off the computer on page 57.
2. Unplug the mouse and disconnect any peripherals.
3. Switch off and remove the computer's power lead from the wall socket
