To disassemble the computer, you need the following tools and supplies:
• Wrist grounding strap and conductive mat for preventing electrostatic discharge
• Phillips screwdrivers
Note: The screws for the different components vary in size. During the disassembly
process, group the screws with the corresponding components to avoid mismatches
when putting back the components.
Before proceeding with the disassembly procedure, make sure that you do the following:
1. Turn off the power to the system and all peripherals.
2. Unplug the AC adapter and all power and signal cables from the system.
3. Do not remove a component from its antistatic packaging until you are ready to
install it.
4. Wear a wrist grounding strap before handling electronic components. Wrist
grounding straps are available at most electronic component stores.
