Working on your computer
Safety instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential damage and to help to
ensure your personal safety. Unless otherwise noted, each procedure included in this document assumes
that the following conditions exist:
• You have read the safety information that shipped with your computer.
• A component can be replaced or--if purchased separately--installed by performing the removal
procedure in reverse order.
WARNING: Disconnect all power sources before opening the computer cover or panels. After you
finish working inside the computer, replace all covers, panels, and screws before connecting to
the power source.
WARNING: Before working inside your computer, read the safety information that shipped with
your computer. For additional safety best practices information, see the Regulatory Compliance
Homepage at www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only
perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as
directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is
not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions
that came with the product.
CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or
by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface, such as a connector on the back of the
computer.
CAUTION: Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts
on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a
processor by its edges, not by its pins.
CAUTION: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its pull-tab, not on the cable
itself. Some cables have connectors with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable,
press in on the locking tabs before you disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep
them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable,
ensure that both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
NOTE: The color of your computer and certain components may appear differently than shown in
this document.

Battery
Your system ships with a non-hot swappable battery. You also have an option to select a hot swap
battery.
NOTE: The battery is a field replaceable unit.
To check if your battery is a hot swap battery, go to System Setup → General → System
Information screen. The battery is not a customer replaceable part. If the hot swap battery is
installed, the optical drive is removed.
Hot swap battery
This section explains what happens when you swap the battery.
The BIOS allows 1 minute to swap the hot swap battery if there is sufficient charge and the temperature is
0º–60º C. When swapping the battery, the LCD, backlight and all LEDs turn off and the processor enters
a low power state to reduce system power. The battery LED flashes green/amber (once per second) for
the first 45 seconds. For the last 15 seconds, the green/amber flashes at a faster rate to indicate that the
swap time limit is near. If the 1-minute time is exceeded, the unit attempts to enter the Sleep (S3) state. If
19
the user has disabled S3 or the OS fails to enter S3 entering Sleep is not guaranteed. When the system
enters the sleep (S3) state, the battery LED continues to flash green/amber at the faster rate to indicate to
the user that a power source needs to be installed.
If the hot swap battery is not charged to a sufficient level or the temperature is outside the mentioned
range and the user performs a hot swap, the BIOS puts the system into the Sleep (S3) state and flashes
the battery LED at a faster green/amber rate.
