Preventing static electricity discharge
Warning
To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical
voltages and moving parts, turn off your
computer and unplug the power cord
and modem and network cables before
opening the case.
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:
Caution
ESD can permanently damage
electrostatic discharge-sensitive
components in your computer. Prevent
ESD damage by following ESD guidelines
every time you open the computer case.
Turn off your computer.
Wear a grounding wrist strap (available at most electronics stores) and
attach it to a bare metal part of your computer.
Warning
To prevent risk of electric shock, do not
insert any object into the vent holes of the
power supply.
Touch a bare metal surface on the back of the computer.
Unplug the power cord and the 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.
Always hold expansion cards by their edges or their metal mounting
brackets. Avoid touching the edge connectors and components on the
cards. Never slide expansion cards or components over any surface.
Opening the case
Your computer case provides easy access to internal components.
Removing the side panel
Warning
To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical
voltages and moving parts, turn off your
computer, then unplug the power cord
and modem cable before opening the
case.
To remove the side panel:
1 Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on
page 12.
2 Shut down your computer, then disconnect the power cord and modem,
network, and all peripheral device cables.
3 Press the power button for ten seconds to drain any residual power from
your computer.

type of memory module for your computer. Your computer uses DIMM memory.
To install or replace DIMM memory:
1 Remove the side panel by following the instructions in “Removing the side
panel” on page 12.
2 For more stability, place your computer on its side. To avoid scratching the
case, place it on a towel or other non-abrasive surface.
3 Find the memory module banks on your system board.
4 If you are removing a DIMM from the memory module bank, gently pull
the plastic tabs away from the sides of the memory module and remove it.
- OR -
If you are adding a DIMM to an empty memory module bank, gently pull
the plastic tabs away from the sides of the memory module bank.
5 Align the notches on the new DIMM with the notches on the memory
module bank and press the module firmly into the bank. The tabs on the
sides of the memory module should secure the memory module
automatically. When the module is secure, you hear a click.
