Chapter 2: Disassembly
Information
Warning
Overview
This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for disassembling the DS100 series device’s parts and subsystems. When
it comes to reassembly, reverse the procedures (unless otherwise indicated).
We suggest you completely review any procedure before you take the device apart.
Disassembly
Procedures such as upgrading/replacing the hard disk are included in the User’s Manual but are repeated here for your
convenience.
To make the disassembly process easier each section may have a box in the page margin. Information contained under
the figure # will give a synopsis of the sequence of procedures involved in the disassembly procedure. A box with a
lists the relevant parts you will have after the disassembly process is complete. Note: The parts listed will be for the disassembly procedure listed ONLY, and not any previous disassembly step(s) required. Refer to the part list for the previous disassembly procedure. The amount of screws you should be left with will be listed here also.
A box with a will also provide any possible helpful information. A box with a contains warnings.
An example of these types of boxes are shown in the sidebar.

NOTE: All disassembly procedures assume that the system is turned OFF, and disconnected from any power supply.
Maintenance Tools
The following tools are recommended when working on the device:
•M3 Philips-head screwdriver
•M2.5 Philips-head screwdriver (magnetized)
•M2 Philips-head screwdriver
•Small flat-head screwdriver
•Pair of needle-nose pliers
•Anti-st atic wrist-strap
2 - 2 Overview
Maintenance Precautions
Power Safety
Warning
Before you undertake
any upgrade procedures, make sure that
you have turned off the
power, and disconnected all peripherals
and cables (including
telephone lines). It is
advisable to also remove your battery in
order to prevent accidentally turning the
machine on.
The following precautions are a reminder. To avoid personal injury or damage to the device while performing a removal
and/or replacement job, take the following precautions:
1.Don't drop it. Perform your repairs and/or upgrades on a stable surface. If the device falls, the case and other
components could be damaged.
2.Don't overheat it. Note the proximity of any heating elements. Keep the device out of direct sunlight.
3.Avoid interference. Note the proximity of any high capacity transformers, electric motors, and other strong mag-
netic fields. These can hinder proper performance and damage component s and/or data. You sho uld a lso mon itor
the position of magnetized tools (i.e. screwdrivers).
4.Keep it dry. This is an electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the device could be badly damaged.
5.Be careful with power. Avoid accidental shocks, discharges or explosions.
•Before removing or servicing any part from the device, turn the device off and detach any power supplies.
•When you want to unplug the power cord or any cable/wire, be sure to disconnect it by the plug head. Do not pull on the wire.
6.Peripherals – Turn off and detach any peripherals.
7.Beware of static discharge. ICs, such as the CPU and main support chips, are vulnerable to static electricity.
Before handling any part in the device, discharge any static electricity inside the device. When handling a printed
circuit board, do not use gloves or other materials which allow static electricity buildup. We suggest that you use an
anti-static wrist strap instead.
8.Beware of corrosion. As you perform your job, avoid touching any connector leads. Even the cleanest hands produce oils which can attract corrosive elements.
9.Keep your work environment clean. Tobacco smoke, dust or other air-born particulate matter is often attracted
to charged surfaces, reducing performance.
10. Keep track of the components. When removing or replacing any part, be careful not to leave small part s, such as
screws, loose inside the device.
Cleaning
Do not apply cleaner directly to the device, use a soft clean cloth.
Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or abrasive cleaners on any part of the device.

New HDD’s are blank. Before
you begin make sure:
You have backed up any data
you want to keep from your old
HDD.
You have all the CD-ROMs
and FDDs required to install
your operating system and
programs.
If you have access to the internet, download the latest application and hardware driver
updates for the operating system you plan to install. Copy
these to a removable medium.
