Chapter 7 Replace Components
•
Keep the designated work area free of nonconductive materials, such as
ordinary plastic assembly aids and foam packing.

Always hold components with a printed circuit board (PCB) by its edges
and place it with the assembly side down.
Pre-configuration
Follow these steps before you remove the computer cover or replace a
hardware component.
1.
Shut down the computer and all peripherals that are connected to it.
2. To avoid exposure to high energy levels, disconnect all cables from
power outlets.
If necessary, label each cable to expedite reassembly.
3. Disconnect all peripheral cables from the I/O ports.
4. Loosen the mounting screws and remove the computer from its
mounting.
Post-configuration
Follow these steps after you install or replace a hardware component.
1.
Reinstall the computer to its mounting.
2. Tighten the mounting screws.
3. Reinstall any peripherals and system cables that were previously
removed.
4. Reconnect all external cables and power to the computer.
5. Turn on the main power switch or breaker.
IMPORTANT
Before you install hardware or perform maintenance procedures that
require access to internal components, we recommend that you first back
up all computer data to avoid loss.
ATTENTION:
Make sure to read and understand all installation and removal
procedures before you configure the computer hardware.
