4Removal and replacement procedures
preliminary requirements
Tools required
You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:
●Non-marking, non-conductive pry tool
●Magnetic Phillips P1 screwdriver
Service considerations
The following sections include some of the considerations that you must keep in mind during disassembly
and assembly procedures.
NOTE: As you remove each subassembly from the computer, place the subassembly (and all accompanying
screws) away from the work area to prevent damage.
Plastic parts
IMPORTANT: Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can damage plastic parts.
Cables and connectors
IMPORTANT: When servicing the computer, be sure that cables are placed in their proper locations during
the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the computer.
Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to unseat or seat
the cables during removal and insertion. Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In all cases, avoid
bending, twisting, or tearing cables. Be sure that cables are routed in such a way that they cannot be caught
or snagged by parts being removed or replaced. Handle ex cables with extreme care; these cables tear
easily.
Tools required17
Drive handling
IMPORTANT: Drives are fragile components that must be handled with care. To prevent damage to the
computer, damage to a drive, or loss of information, observe these precautions:
Before removing or inserting a hard drive, shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether the computer is
o or in Hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it down through the operating system.
Before handling a drive, be sure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid
touching the connector.
Before removing an optical drive, be sure that a disc is not in the drive and be sure that the optical drive tray is
closed.
Handle drives on surfaces covered with at least one inch of shock-proof foam.
Avoid dropping drives from any height onto any surface.
After removing a hard drive or an optical drive, place it in a static-proof bag.
Avoid exposing an internal hard drive to products that have magnetic elds, such as monitors or speakers.
Avoid exposing a drive to temperature extremes or liquids.
If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble pack mailer or other suitable form of protective
packaging and label the package “FRAGILE.”
Workstation guidelines
Follow these grounding workstation guidelines:
●Cover the workstation with approved static-shielding material.
●Use a wrist strap connected to a properly grounded work surface and use properly grounded tools and
equipment.
●Use conductive eld service tools, such as cutters, screw drivers, and vacuums.
●When xtures must directly contact dissipative surfaces, use xtures made only of static-safe materials.
●Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and
Styrofoam.
●Handle ESD-sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCM laminate. Handle these
items only at static-free workstations.
●Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
●Turn o power and input signals before inserting or removing connectors or test equipment.
Electrostatic discharge information
A sudden discharge of static electricity from your nger 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 appear to be aected at all and can work perfectly
throughout a normal cycle. The device may function normally for a while, but it has been degraded in the
internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.
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.
18Chapter 4 Removal and replacement procedures preliminary requirements
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the device when you are removing or installing internal components,
observe these precautions:
Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until you are ready to install them.
Before touching an electronic component, discharge static electricity by using the guidelines described in this
section.
Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry. Handle electronic components as little as possible.
If you remove a component, place it in an electrostatic-safe container.
Generating static electricity
Note the following:
●Dierent activities generate dierent amounts of static electricity.
●Static electricity increases as humidity decreases.

Electronic components are then multi-packaged inside plastic tubes, trays, or Styrofoam.
NOTE: As little as 700 volts can degrade a product.
Preventing electrostatic damage to equipment
Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and structure determine the degree of
sensitivity. The following packaging and grounding precautions are necessary to prevent static electricity
damage to electronic components.
●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.
Electrostatic discharge information19
●Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
●Place reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or conductive
foam.
Personal grounding methods and equipment
Use the following equipment to prevent static electricity damage to electronic components:
●Wrist straps are exible straps with a maximum 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 t snugly into the banana plug connector on the grounding mat or workstation.
●Heel straps/Toe straps/Boot straps can be used at standing workstations and are compatible with
most types of shoes or boots. On conductive oors or dissipative oor mats, use them on both feet with
a maximum of one-megohm ± 10% resistance between the operator and ground.

Grounding the work area
To prevent static damage at the work area, use the following precautions:
●Cover the work surface 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 work areas.
●Turn o power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or test equipment.
●Use xtures made of static-safe materials when xtures must directly contact dissipative surfaces.
●Keep work area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and Styrofoam.
●Use eld service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums, that are conductive.
Recommended materials and equipment

●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 oor mats with hard tie to ground

Packaging and transporting guidelines
Follow these grounding guidelines when packaging and transporting equipment:
●To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe tubes, bags, or boxes.
●Protect ESD-sensitive parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or packaging.
●Keep ESD-sensitive parts in their containers until the parts arrive at static-free workstations.
●Place items on a grounded surface before removing items from their containers.
●Always be properly grounded when touching a component or assembly.
●Store reusable ESD-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or nonconductive foam.
●Use transporters and conveyors made of antistatic belts and roller bushings. Be sure that mechanized
equipment used for moving materials is wired to ground and that proper materials are selected to avoid
static charging. When grounding is not possible, use an ionizer to dissipate electric charges.
