Installation precautions
Before you install any computer component, we
recommend that you read the following sections.
These sections contain important ESD
precautions along with pre-installation and post-
installation instructions.
ESD precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your
processor, disk drives, expansion boards, and
other components. Always observe the following
precautions before you install a computer
component:
1.
Do not remove a component from its
protective packaging until you are ready to
install it.
2.
Wear a wrist grounding strap and attach it to
a metal part of the computer before handling
components. If a wrist strap is not available,
maintain contact with the computer
throughout any procedure requiring ESD
protection.
Required tools
In performing the component replacement
process, you will need the following tools:
•
Philips screwdriver
•
Hex screwdriver
•
Flat screwdriver

Note
The screws for the different components vary in size. During the disassembly
process, group the screws with their corresponding components to avoid
mismatches when putting back the components.
