Before Working Inside Your Computer
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential damage and to help to
ensure your personal safety. Unless otherwise noted, each procedure included in this document assumes
that the following conditions exist:
You have read the safety information that shipped with your computer.
A component can be replaced or--if purchased separately--installed by performing the removal
procedure in reverse order.
To avoid damaging your computer, perform the following steps before you begin working inside the
computer.
1. Ensure that your work surface is flat and clean to prevent the computer cover from being
scratched.
2. Turn off your computer (see Turning Off Your Computer).
3. Disconnect all network cables from the computer.
4. Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from their electrical outlets.
5. Press and hold the power button while the computer is unplugged to ground the system board.
6. Remove the cover.
WARNING: Before working inside your computer, read the safety information that shipped
with your computer. For additional safety best practices information, see the Regulatory
Compliance Homepage at www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance.
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should
only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product
documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team.
Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty.
Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding
strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface, such as a connector on the
back of the computer.
CAUTION: Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or
contacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a
component such as a processor by its edges, not by its pins.
CAUTION: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its pull-tab, not on the
cable itself. Some cables have connectors with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this
type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before you disconnect the cable. As you pull
connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also,
before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly oriented and
aligned.
NOTE: The color of your computer and certain components may appear differently than shown in
this document.
CAUTION: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer
and then unplug the cable from the network device.
CAUTION: Before touching anything inside your computer, ground yourself by
touching an unpainted metal surface, such as the metal at the back of the computer.
While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to dissipate static
electricity, which could harm internal components.
