following conditions exist:

lYou have performed the steps in Turning Off Your Computer and Safety Instructions.

lYou have read the safety information that shipped with your computer.

lA component can be replaced or—if purchased separately—installed by performing the removal procedure in reverse order.

Technical Specifications

For information on technical specifications of your computer, see the Setup Guide that shipped with your computer or see the Dell Support website at

support.dell.com.

Recommended Tools

The procedures in this document may require the use of a small Phillips screwdriver size #2.

Turning Off Your Computer



1. Shut down the operating system.



2. Ensure that the computer and all attached devices are turned off. If your computer and attached devices did not automatically turn off when you shut

down your operating system, press and hold the power button for about 4 seconds to turn them off.

Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential damage and to help to ensure your own personal safety.



1. Ensure that the work surface is flat and clean to prevent the computer cover from being scratched.



2. Turn off your computer (see Turning Off Your Computer).
