Preparing to Work Inside the Computer

CAUTION: Only a certified service technician should perform repairs on

your computer. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell

is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions

in the Owner's Manual that came with the computer.

CAUTION: To prevent static damage to components inside your

computer, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch

any of your computer's electronic components. You can do so by

touching an unpainted metal surface.

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 microprocessor by

its edges, not by its pins.

NOTICE: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-

relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector 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.

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the computer, perform the following steps before

you begin working inside the computer.
