After working inside your computer
Safety instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to protect your computer from potential damage and 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.
NOTE: Disconnect all power sources before opening the computer cover or panels. After you finish working inside the
computer, replace all covers, panels, and screws before connecting to the power source.
NOTE: 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.
Storing Chromebooks for long term - best practices
Prior to long term (Summer) storage:
1. Update to the latest version of the Chrome OS and charge your Chromebooks so that the battery is at least 80% full.
a. This ensures that even when the battery discharges while unplugged over the summer, it will not fully run out of power.
2. Connect the device to a charger and then turn it on.
3.
Hold Refresh and Power keys at the same time.
4. While holding these keys, remove the power cable from the device and then release the keys. The device should shut down
and remain off.

Working on your computer 5
5. Attempt to power the unit on, by pressing the power button. If the unit does not power on, you have completed the steps
and can safely store the system. If the unit powers on, you should repeat steps 2 to 4.
Upon redeploying:
1. Connect the Chromebooks to a charger and a power source, which will get them out of the battery disconnect state. Power
up your device.
2. Connect your Chromebooks to WiFi and update them to the latest Chrome OS release.
a. This can take time, as multiple Chrome OS versions may have been released since the last time the device was updated.
Before working inside your computer
Steps
1. Ensure that your work surface is flat and clean to prevent the computer cover from being scratched.
2. Turn off your computer.
3. If the computer is connected to a docking device (docked), undock it.
CAUTION: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer and then unplug the
cable from the network device.
4. Disconnect all network cables from the computer.
5. Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from their electrical outlets.
6. Close the display and turn the computer upside-down on a flat work surface.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the system board, you must remove the main battery before you service the computer.
7. Remove the base cover.
8. Remove the main battery.
9. Turn the computer top-side up.
10. Open the display.
11. Press and hold the power button for few seconds, to ground the system board.
CAUTION:
To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your computer from the electrical outlet before
opening the display.
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.
12. Remove any installed ExpressCards or Smart Cards from the appropriate slots.
After working inside your computer
