Removing Glue from Your System To protect components from damage and ensure proper operation out of the box, glue may have been applied to some cables or connectors to keep them in place during shipping. This glue must be removed before attempting to swap components or perform maintenance.
Page 111
Step 1: Using an eyedropper or bottle as shown above, apply a few drops of alcohol to the glue. Step 2: Allow the alcohol to soak for 10 seconds, then use a cotton swab or cotton with anti-static tweezers to evenly rub the alcohol over the glue. Step 3: Let soak for 10 more seconds, then use anti-static tweezers to remove the glue.
