Removal Procedures
Before beginning removal complete the following steps:
1. Turn off the computer and any peripheral devices.
2. Disconnect AC power cord from outlet and system.
3. Disconnect all peripheral devices from the computer.
4. Discharge any static by touching static strap to chassis.
System Cover
1. Locate the cover release at the top of the system in
the back of the unit.
2. Turn the cover release with a coin or slotted
screwdriver so that the slot is in the vertical position.
3. Slide cover to the front of system a few inches.
4. Lift the cover up and off to remove.
Special Notices:
• All NEC hard drives are formatted at the factory and need
no formatting and are configured as primary by default.
• All switch settings will not be reflected until the system
has been completely repowered.
• IDE drive can not be used with the ST506 or ESDI type
controller boards. Remove the Non-IDE boards.
• When removing the processor chips, use a chip puller.
• Multi-Sync monitors contain high voltages, any internal
adjustments are to be made only by certified engineer.
• For Advanced Diags use a PC Diagnostic Utility.
• Troubleshoot according to errors found during test.
• Add memory to system, closest to the drive bays first.
• Different size SIMMS may be intermixed when adding
memory to system board, however, same speed SIMMs
are recommended.
• SIMMs memory chips have 72 pins
