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 performed the steps in Working on Your Computer.

• 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: 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.

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. If the computer is connected to a docking device (docked) such as the optional Media Base or Battery Slice,

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.

8. Turn the computer top-side up.

9. Open the display.

10. Press the power button 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.

11. Remove any installed ExpressCards or Smart Cards from the appropriate slots.

2. Ensure that the computer and all attached devices are turned off. If your computer and attached devices did not

automatically turn off when you shut down your operating system, press and hold the power button for about 4

seconds to turn them off.

After Working Inside Your Computer

After you complete any replacement procedure, ensure you connect any external devices, cards, and cables before

turning on your computer.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the computer, use only the battery designed for this particular Dell computer. Do not

use batteries designed for other Dell computers.

1. Connect any external devices, such as a port replicator, battery slice, or media base, and replace any cards, such
