Before Working Inside Your Computer

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

by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the

CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist

grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface, such as a

Hold a component such as a processor by its edges, not by its pins.

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
