Installation Sequence
It is very important that you follow this sequence of steps to ensure
the proper installation of any optional equipment.
1. If your computer includes the Smart Cover Lock feature and you
have set the lock, use Computer Setup to unlock the lock and
disable the Smart Cover Sensor.
For more information about Computer Setup, refer to the
Computer Setup Guide.
2. If the computer is already on, turn it off and disconnect the power
cord from the wall outlet.
Å
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock
and/or hot surfaces, be sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall
outlet and allow the internal system components to cool before
touching.
Å
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or damage to the
equipment, do not plug telecommunications or telephone connectors
into the network interface controller (NIC) receptacles.
Ä
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of
the computer or optional equipment. Before beginning these
procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly
touching a grounded metal object. See Appendix E, “Electrostatic
Discharge,” for more information.
3. Open the computer by removing its outside cover. See the section
Removing the Computer Access Panel.

4. Install any optional equipment. See the applicable sections of this
guide or refer to the documentation provided with the optional
equipment for instructions.
5. Replace the computer cover.
6. Turn on the monitor, computer, and any devices you want to test.
7. Reconfigure the computer, if necessary. Refer to the Computer
Setup Guide for instructions about using Computer Setup.
If you normally lock the Smart Cover Lock, use Computer Setup
to relock the lock and enable the Smart Cover Sensor.
Smart Cover Lock
The Smart Cover Lock is an optional feature included on select
models only.
The Smart Cover Lock is a software-controllable cover lock,
controlled by the setup password. This lock prevents unauthorized
access to the internal components. The computer ships with the
Smart Cover Lock in the unlocked position. For more information
about locking the Smart Cover Lock, refer to the Desktop
Management guide.
Using the Smart Cover FailSafe Key
If you enable the Smart Cover Lock and cannot enter your password
to disable the lock, you will need a Smart Cover FailSafe Key to open
the computer cover. You will need the key in any of the following
circumstances:
Power outage
Startup failure
PC component (for example, processor or power supply) failure
Forgotten password
