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 (F10) Utility Guide.

2. If the computer is already on, turn it off and disconnect the power

cord from the wall outlet.

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.

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.

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 Access Panel.”

Hardware Upgrades

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 access panel.

6. Turn on the monitor, computer, and any devices you want to test.

7. Reconfigure the computer, if necessary. Refer to the Computer

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
