Opening the PC

Before you upgrade any component in your PC, prepare the PC so that you can safely handle the unit and the components.

Read the following items before attempting to upgrade or service the PC:

•Print out this document before attempting any removal/replacement procedures.

•These procedures assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with PCs and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment.

•Write down and save the system model number and serial number, all installed options, and other information about the system. If you need this information later, you will not need to open up and examine the PC.

CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the PC or optional equipment. Ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object.

•HP recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam pad when working on system electronic components.

•You need a Phillips screwdriver.
