8. When assembling the computer make sure you use the correct screws to secure the
various pieces in place. Screw sizes are listed in the corresponding figures.
9. The computer contains many sharp edges and corners, so be careful not to injure
yourself.
10. After you have replaced an FRU make sure the computer is functioning properly by
performing the appropriate test on the FRU you have fixed or replaced.

Disassembly Procedures

The computer has two basic types of cable connectors:
Pressure Plate Connectors
Normal Pin Connectors
To disconnect a pressure plate connector, lift up the tabs on either side of the connectors' plastic
pressure plate and slide the cable out of the connector. To connect the cable to a pressure plate
connector, make sure the pressure plate is fully lifted and slide the cable into the connector. Secure
the cable in place by pushing the sides of the pressure plate down so the plate is flush with the sides
of the connector. Gently pull on the cable to make sure the cable is secure. If you pull out the
connector, connect it again making sure the connector's pressure plate is fully lifted when you insert
the cable.
Standard pin connectors are used with all other cables. These connectors can be connected
and disconnected by simply pulling them apart or pushing them together.
Assembly Procedures
The computer must be re-assembled after disassembly and repair. While assembling the computer,
remember the following:
Take your time, making sure you follow the instructions closely. Most prob-
lems arise when you get in a hurry assembling the computer.
Make sure all cables and connectors are securely fastened.
Before securing the FRU or other parts, make sure that no cables will be
pinched by screws, FRUs or other parts.
Check that all latches are closed securely.
Make sure the correct screws are used to secure all FRUs. Using the wrong screw can
either damage the threads or the screw head, and may prevent proper seating of an FRU.
After installing an FRU in the computer confirm that the FRU and the computer are function-
ing properly.
