Prerequisites for hardware replacement
General prerequisites
Read Generic Safety and Compliance Notices.
Prerequisites for opening computer cover
•
During operation, some components become hot enough to burn the skin. Before you open the computer
cover, remove any media from the drives, turn off the computer and connected devices, disconnect
power, remove all cables and locking devices, and wait approximately 10 minutes until the computer is
cool.
• Before reaching parts with cables, record the cable routing for future reference and then disconnect its
cable from the system board.
Prerequisites for storage drive replacement
Attention: The internal storage drive is sensitive. Inappropriate handling might cause damage and loss of
data. When handling the internal storage drive, observe the following guidelines:
• Replace the internal storage drive only for repair. The internal storage drive is not designed for frequent
changes or replacement.
• Before replacing the internal storage drive, make backup copy of all the data that you want to keep.
• Do not touch the contact edge of the internal storage drive. Otherwise, the internal storage drive might get
damaged.
• Do not apply pressure to the internal storage drive.
• Do not make the internal storage drive subject to physical shocks or vibration. Put the internal storage
drive on soft material, such as a cloth, to absorb physical shocks.
