About this task
NOTE: : Disconnect all power sources before opening the
computer cover or panels. After you finish working inside the computer,
replace all covers, panels, and screws before connecting to the power
source.
WARNING: : Before
working inside your computer, read the safety information that shipped
with your computer. For additional safety best practices information,
see the Regulatory Compliance Homepage
CAUTION: : Many repairs may only be done by a certified service
technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs
as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the
online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing
that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read
and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
CAUTION: : To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface at the same time as touching a connector on the back of the computer.
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 processor by its edges, not by its pins.
CAUTION: : When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its pull-tab,
not on the cable itself. Some cables have connectors with locking
tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the
locking tabs before you disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors
apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins.
Also, before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are
correctly oriented and aligned.
NOTE: : The color
of your computer and certain components may appear differently than
shown in this document.
