Preparing your work space

Before performing maintenance on your computer, make sure that your work

space and your computer are correctly prepared.

■Wear a grounding (ESD) wrist strap.

■Use a grounded or dissipative work mat.

■Use a stable and strong table.

■Make sure that the table top is large enough to hold each component as

you remove it.

■Use bright lighting to make part identification easier.

■Keep your work surface free from clutter and dust that may damage

components.

■Use a magnetized screwdriver for removing screws.

■As you remove components and screws, lay them toward the back of your

work surface (behind your computer) or far enough to the side that your

arms do not accidentally brush components or screws onto the floor.

■To help keep track of screws, try the following:

■Place each component’s screws in their own section of a parts sorter.

■Place each component’s screws next to the component on your work

surface.

■When you place flat-headed screws on your work surface, stand them

on their heads to prevent the screws from rolling off the table.

Preventing static electricity discharge

www.gateway.com

Preventing static electricity

discharge

The components inside your computer are extremely sensitive to static

electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Before opening the computer case, follow these guidelines:

■Turn off the computer power.

■Wear a grounding wrist strap (available at most electronics stores) and

attach it to a bare metal part of your workbench or other grounded

connection.

■Touch a bare metal surface on your workbench or other grounded object.

■Unplug the power cord and modem and network cables.

Before working with computer components, follow these guidelines:

■Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted floors, plastic, and packing

foam.

■Remove components from their antistatic bags only when you are ready

to use them. Do not lay components on the outside of antistatic bags

because only the inside of the bags provide electrostatic protection.

■Avoid touching the edge connectors and components on the Mini-PCI

cards. Never slide Mini-PCI cards or components over any surface.

Caution ESD can permanently damage electrostatic

discharge-sensitivecomponentsinyourcomputer.Prevent

ESD damage by following ESD guidelines every time you

open the computer case.

Warning To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and

moving parts, turn off your computer and unplug the power

cord and modem cable before opening the case.

Warning To prevent risk of electric shock, do not insert any object

into the vent holes of the power supply.
