Before you install any computer component, we recommend that you
read the following sections. These sections contain important ESD
precautions along with pre-installation and post-installation
instructions.

drives, expansion boards, and other components. Always observe the
following precautions before you install a computer component:
1. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you
are ready to install it.
2. Wear a wrist grounding strap and attach it to a metal part of the
computer before handling components. If a wrist strap is not
available, maintain contact with the computer throughout any
procedure requiring ESD protection.

following tools:
• Philips screwdriver

Note
The screws for the different components vary in size. During the disassembly
process, group the screws with their corresponding components to avoid
mismatches when putting back the components.
