Handling static-sensitive devices

Do not open the static-protective package containing the new part until the defective part has been removed from the computer and you are ready to install the new part. Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components and parts.

When you handle parts and other computer components, take these precautions to avoid static-electricity damage:

v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around

you.

Locations

Locating controls and connectors on the front of your computer

v Always handle parts and other computer components carefully. Handle

adapters, memory modules, system boards, and microprocessors by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry.

v Prevent others from touching the parts and other computer components.

v Before you replace a new part, touch the static-protective package containing the

part to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body.

v When possible, remove the new part from the static-protective packaging, and

install it directly in the computer without setting the part down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective package that the part came in on a smooth, level surface and place the part on it.

v Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.

This chapter provides illustrations to help locate the various connectors, controls and components of the computer. To remove the computer cover, see “Removing the cover” on page 9.

Connector Description

Standard mouse connector Used to attach a mouse, trackball, or other pointing device that

uses a standard mouse connector.

Parallel connector Used to attach a parallel printer, parallel scanner, or other

devices that use a 25-pin parallel connector.

Ethernet connector Used to attach an Ethernet cable for a local area network

(LAN). Note: To operate the computer within FCC Class B limits, use a Category 5 Ethernet cable.

Audio-line-in connector Used to receive audio signals from an external audio device,

such as a stereo system. When you attach an external audio device, a cable is connected between the audio line out connector of the device and the audio line in connector of the computer.

Audio-line-out connector Used to send audio signals from the computer to external

devices, such as powered stereo speakers (speakers with built-in amplifiers), headphones, multimedia keyboards, or the audio line in connector on a stereo system or other external recording device.

USB connectors Used to attach a device that requires a Universal Serial Bus

(USB) connection, such as a USB keyboard, USB mouse, USB scanner or USB printer. If you have more than six USB devices, you can purchase a USB hub, which you can use to connect additional USB devices.

Serial connector Used to attach an external modem, serial printer, or other

devices that use a 9-pin serial connector.

Standard keyboard connector

Used to attach a keyboard that uses a standard keyboard connector.
