Opening the Computer

 

Warning: Always turn off your computer before opening it to avoid damaging its 
internal components.

 

1. Place your computer on a clean, flat surface.

2. If you think your computer is in sleep, press the power button on the front of the 

computer to wake it.

3. Shut down your computer by opening the Special menu and choosing Shut Down. 

Then wait five minutes for the computer’s internal components to cool down.

4. If you attached a security cable through the computer’s lockable cover latch, remove 

the cable.

5. Unplug all other cables from the computer except the power cord.

6. Touch the metal PCI access covers on the back of the computer.

Important:

 

 To avoid electrostatic discharge, always ground yourself by touching the 

port access covers before you touch any parts or install any components inside the 
computer. To avoid static electricity building back up in your body, do not walk 
around the room until you have completed your installation and closed the computer. 

7. Unplug the power cord.
