Overview

This section provides procedures for removing and replacing the components, assemblies, and

subassemblies in the Dell OptiPlex small-form-factor chassis GX1 system.

Unless otherwise noted, each procedure assumes that the following conditions exist:

You have performed the steps in "Precautionary Measures."

You have removed the computer cover.

You can replace or reinstall a part by performing the removal procedure in reverse order unless

additional information is provided.

Recommended Tools

Most of the procedures in this manual require the use of one or more of the following tools:

#1 and #2 Phillips-head screwdrivers

1/4-inch nut driver

Also, use a wrist grounding strap as explained in "Precautionary Measures."

Precautionary Measures

Before you perform any procedures in this manual, take a few moments to read the following caution for your

personal safety and to prevent damage to the system from ESD.

CAUTION: FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY AND PROTECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT

Before you start to work on the system, perform the following steps in the sequence listed:

1. Turn off the computer and all peripherals.

2. Disconnect the computer and peripherals from their AC power sources. Also, disconnect any

telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer. Doing so reduces the potential for

personal injury or shock.

3. If you are disconnecting a peripheral from the computer or are removing a component from the

system board, wait 10 to 20 seconds after disconnecting the computer from AC power before

disconnecting the peripheral or removing the component to avoid possible damage to the

system board.

4. Wear a wrist grounding strap, and clip it to an unpainted metal surface, such as the padlock loop

on the back of the chassis. If a wrist grounding strap is not available, touch any unpainted metal

surface on the back of the computer or on the computer chassis, such as the power supply, to

discharge any static charge from your body before touching anything inside the computer.

While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis to

dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components. Also avoid touching

components or contacts on a card and avoid touching pins on a chip.

5. Verify that the auxiliary power indicator on the riser board is not on. If it is on, you may need to

wait 10 to 30 seconds for it to go out (see Figure 20).

1. Face the front of the computer and hold the cover at a slight angle (see Figure 4).

2. Align the bottom of the cover with the bottom of the chassis and insert the hooks on the cover into the

recessed slots on the computer chassis so that the tabs catch the hooks inside the slots.
