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 applicable instructions in 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: To avoid damaging the computer, perform the following steps before you begin

working inside the computer.

1. Ensure that the work surface is flat and clean to prevent scratching the computer cover.

2. Save any work in progress and exit all open programs.

3. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.

NOTE: Ensure that the computer is off and not in a power management mode. If you cannot

shut down the computer using the computer operating system, press and hold the power button

for 4 seconds.

4. If the computer is connected to a docking station, undock it.

5. Disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet.
