2.0.1 Before you Begin
This chapter explains how to install the CPUs, CPU heatsinks,
memory modules, and hard drives. Instructions on inserting add on
cards are also given.
2.0.2 Work Area
Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and
dirt can get into components and cause malfunctions. Use
containers to keep small components separated. Putting all small
components in separate containers prevents them from becoming
lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from
accidentally damaging the internal components.
2.0.3 Tools
The following procedures require only a few tools, including the
following:
A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver
A grounding strap or an anti-static pad
Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be disconne-
-cted using your fingers. It is recommended that you do not use nee-
-dlenosed pliers to remove connectors as these can damage the soft
metal or plastic parts of the connectors.
