Safety warning notice

WARNING! To reduce the possibility of heat-related injuries or of overheating the device, do not place

the device directly on your lap or obstruct the device air vents. Use the device only on a hard, at surface. Do not

allow another hard surface, such as an adjoining optional printer, or a soft surface, such as pillows or rugs or

clothing, to block airow. Also, do not allow the AC adapter to contact the skin or a soft surface, such as pillows

or rugs or clothing, during operation. The device and the AC adapter comply with the user-accessible surface

temperature limits dened by applicable standards.

3 Routine care, SATA drive guidelines, and

disassembly preparation

This chapter provides general service information for the computer. Adherence to the procedures and

precautions described in this chapter is essential for proper service.

IMPORTANT: When the computer is plugged into an AC power source, voltage is always applied to the system

board. You must disconnect the power cord from the power source before opening the computer to prevent

system board or component damage.

Electrostatic discharge information

A sudden discharge of static electricity from your nger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices

or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to

electrostatic discharge (ESD) may not appear to be aected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal

cycle. The device may function normally for a while, but it has been degraded in the internal layers, reducing its

life expectancy.

Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the discharge contains

enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.

Generating static

The following table shows that:

● Dierent activities generate dierent amounts of static electricity.

● Static electricity increases as humidity decreases.

Electrostatic discharge information 9

Preventing electrostatic damage to equipment

Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and structure determine the degree of

sensitivity. The following packaging and grounding precautions are necessary to prevent damage to electric

components and accessories.

● To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe containers such as tubes, bags, or boxes.

● Protect all electrostatic parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or packaging.

● Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.

● Place items on a grounded surface before removing them from their container.

● Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive component or assembly.

● Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.

● Place reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or conductive foam.

Personal grounding methods and equipment

Use the following equipment to prevent static electricity damage to equipment:

● Wrist straps are exible straps with a maximum of 1 MΩ ± 10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide

proper ground, a strap must be worn snug against bare skin. The ground cord must be connected and t

snugly into the banana plug connector on the grounding mat or workstation.

● Heel straps, toe straps, boot straps can be used at standing workstations and are compatible with most

types of shoes or boots. On conductive oors or dissipative oor mats, use them on both feet with a

maximum of 1 MΩ ± 10% resistance between the operator and ground.

Grounding the work area

To prevent static damage at the work area, use the following precautions:

● Cover the work surface with approved static-dissipative material. Provide a wrist strap connected to

the work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.

● Use static-dissipative mats, foot straps, or air ionizers to give added protection.

● Handle electrostatic sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCB laminate. Handle

them only at static-free work areas.

● Turn o power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or test equipment.

● Use xtures made of static-safe materials when xtures must directly contact dissipative surfaces.

● Keep work area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and polystyrene

foam.

● Use eld service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums, that are conductive.
