If the computer is dropped or damaged, use the following procedure:
1. Save all your work, exit any open application programs, and remove any installed
batteries.
2. Turn off the computer and disconnect it from the AC adapter. Then disconnect
the AC adapter from AC power. Turn off any attached peripherals and disconnect
them from their power sources and then from the computer.
3. Ground yourself by touching one of the metal connectors on the back of the
computer.

drive carrier. A spring will cause the front edge of the cover to pop up.

disk drive is not in the computer, protect the drive from exposure to static
electricity.
