EMOVAL

& R

This chapter provides general service information for the computer. Adherence to the procedures and precautions described in this chapter is essential for proper service.

EPLACEMENT PRELIMINARIES

CAUTION: When the computer is plugged into an AC power source there is always voltage applied to the system board. You must disconnect the power cord from the power source before opening the computer to prevent system board or component damage.

3.1 Electrostatic Discharge Information

A sudden discharge of static electricity from your finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) may not be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. The device may function normally for a while, then degrade in the internal layers, reducin g its life expec tan cy.

Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.

3.1.1 Generating Static

The following table shows that:

Different activities generate different amounts of static electricity.

! ! Static electricity increases as humidity decreases.

Relative Humidity

Event 55% 40% 10%

Walking across carpet 7,500 V 15,000 V 35,000 V Walking across vinyl floor 3,000 V 5,000 V 12,000 V Motions of bench worker 400 V 800 V 6,000 V

Compaq Deskpro EX and Deskpro EXS Series of Personal Computers 3-1

3.1.2 Preventing Electrostatic Damage to Equipment

Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and structure determine the degree of sensitivity. The following proper packaging and grounding precautions are necessary to prevent damage to electric components and accessories.

! To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe containers such as tubes,

bags, or boxes.

! Protect all electrostatic parts and assemblies with conductive or approved

containers or packaging. Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free

stations.

! Place items on a grounded surface before removing them from their container. ! Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive component or assembly. ! Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry. ! Place reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging

or conductive foam.

3.1.3 Personal Grounding Methods and Equipment

Use the following equipment to prevent static electricity damage to equipment:

Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of one-megohm +/- 10%

resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, a strap must be worn snug against bare skin. The ground cord must be connected and fit snugly into the banana plug connector on the grounding mat or workstation.

Heel straps/Toe straps/Boot str a ps can be used at standing workst at ions and are

compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On conductive floors or dissipative floor mats, use them on both feet with a minimum of one-megohm +/- 10% resistance between the operator and ground.

Static Shielding Protection Levels

Method Voltage

Antistatic plastic 1,500 Carbon-loaded plastic 7,500 Metallized laminate 15,000

3.1.4 Grounding Workstations

To prevent static damage at the workstation, use the following precautions:

! Cover the workstation with approved static-dissipative material. Provide a wrist

strap connected to the work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.

! Use static-dissipative mats, foot straps, or air ionizers to give added protection. ! Handle electrostatic sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or

PCB laminate. Handle them only at static-free workstations.

! Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or test

equipment.

3-2 Removal & Replacement Preliminaries

! Use fixtures made of static-safe materials when fixtures must directly contact

dissipative surfaces.

! Keep work area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly

aids and Styrofoam.

! Use field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums, that are

conductive.

3.1.5 Recommended Materials and Equipment

Materials and equipment that are recommended for use in preventing static electricity include:

Antistatic tape

! ! Antistatic smocks, aprons, or sleeve protectors ! Conductive bins and other assembly or soldering aids ! Conductive foam ! Conductive tabletop workstations with ground cord of one-megohm +/- 10%

resistance

! Static-dissipative table or floor mats with hard tie to ground ! Field service kits ! Static awareness labels ! Wrist straps and footwear straps providing one-megohm +/- 10% resistance ! Material handling packages

Conductive plastic bags

! ! Conductive plastic tubes ! Conductive tote boxes ! Opaque shielding bags ! Transparent metall ized shi eld ing bags

Transparent shielding tubes

3.2 Routine Care

3.2.1 General Cleaning Safety Precautions

1. Never use solvents or flammable solutions to clean the computer.

2. Never immerse any parts in water or cleaning solutions; apply any liquids to a clean

cloth and then use the cloth on the component.

3. Always turn off the computer when cleaning with liquids or damp cloths.

4. Always turn off the computer before cleaning the keyboard, mouse, or air vents.

5. Disconnect the keyboard before cleaning it.

6. Wear safety glasses equipped with side shields when cleaning the keyboard.

Compaq Deskpro EX and Deskpro EXS Series of Personal Computers 3-3

3.2.2 Cleaning the Computer Case

Follow all safety precautions in Section 3.2.1 before cleaning the computer. To clean the computer case, follow the procedures described below:

! To remove light stains or dirt, use plain water with a clean, lint-free cloth or swab. ! For stronger stains, use a mild dishwashing liquid diluted with water. Rinse well

by wiping it with a cloth or swab dampened with clear water.

! For stubborn stains, use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. No rinsing is needed as the

alcohol will evaporate quickly and not leave a residue.

! After cleaning, always wipe the unit with a clean, lint-free cloth. ! Occasionally clean the air vents on the computer. Lint and other foreign matter can

block the vents and limit the airflow.

3.2.3 Cleaning the Keyboard

Follow all safety precautions in Section 3.2.1 before cleaning the keyboard. To clean the tops of the keys or the keyboard body, follow the procedures described in

Section 3.2.2. When cleaning debris from under the keys, review all rules in Section 3.2.1 before

following these procedures:

CAUTION: Use safety glasses equipped with side shields before attempting to clean debris from under the keys.

! Visible debris underneath or between the keys may be removed by vacuuming or

shaking.

! Canned, pressurized air may be used to clean debris from under the keys. Caution

should be used as too much air pressure can dislodge lubricants applied under the wide keys.

! If you remove a key, use a specially designed key puller to prevent damage to the

keys. This tool is available through many electronic supply outlets.

CAUTION: Never remove a wide leveled key (like the space bar) from the keyboard. If these keys are improperly removed or installed, the keyboard may not function properly.

! Cleaning under a key may be done with a swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol

and squeezed out. Be careful not to wipe away lubricants necessary for proper key functions. Use tweezers to remove any fibers or dirt in confined areas. Allow the parts to air dry before reassembly.

3.2.4 Cleaning the Monitor

! Wipe the monitor screen with a clean cloth moistened with water or with a

towelette designed for cleaning monitors. Do not use sprays or aerosols directly on the screen, the liquid may seep into the housing and damage a component. Never use solvents or flammable liq uid s on the monito r.

! To clean the monitor body follow the procedures in Section 3.2.2.

3-4 Removal & Replacement Preliminaries

3.2.5 Cleaning the Mouse

4.12 System Memory

The computer comes with synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). The Intel 815 chipset comes with at least 64 MB of SDRAM DIMMS, upgradeable to 512 MB.

DIMMs

The memory sockets on the Intel 815 chipset–based system board can be populated with industry-standard DIMMs. These memory module slots are populated with at least one preinstalled memory module. To achieve the ma xi mu m mem ory suppo rt, you may be required to replace the preinstalled DIMM with a higher capacity DIMM.

For proper system operation, the DIMMs must be industry-standard 168-pin, unbuffered PC100– or PC133– compliant SDRAM DIMMs, depending on the model. The SDRAM DIMMs must support CAS Latency 2 or 3 (CL = 2 or CL = 3). They must also contain the mandatory Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) Serial Presence Detect (SPD) information. DIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM (16 ICs per side) are not supported; the system will not start using unsupported DIMMs.

The Intel 815 chipset supports both PC100 and PC133 SDRAM DIMMs. PC133 DIMMs should be used for optimal performance. If both PC100 and PC133 SDRAM DIMMs are installed in a computer, the system memory will run at the lower 100Mhz speed. Some configurations of PC133 SDRAMs may run at 100Mhz, instead of 133Mhz.
