Taking Your System Apart
This chapter tells how to take apart and reassemble the major parts of the
system. Chapter 5 describes how to remove and install system board
components.
Before You Begin
•
Be sure to do each procedure in the correct order.
•
The procedures (and warnings) for removing and reinstalling the side
covers are assumed to precede all other procedures described in this
chapter.
•
Set up an equipment log to record the system model and serial numbers,
all installed options, and other information about the system. If you
need this information, it will be easier to consult the log than to open up
and examine the system.
•
You will need a Phillips screwdriver (#2 bit). We recommend that you
use an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam pad when working
on the system.
