Working on Your Computer
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.
WARNING: 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.

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

CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically
