Disassembly
When disassembling the system unit, follow these general rules:
n Turn OFF the power to the system and all peripherals using the power button. n Unplug the AC adapter and all power and signal cables from the system. n Remove any SD/MMC card, ExpressCard or dummy card from the computer. n Do not disassemble the system into parts that are smaller than those specified in
the instructions.
n Label all remov ed connectors; note where th e connector goes and in what position it
was installed.
n The screws for the different components vary in size. During the disassembly
process, group the screws with the corresponding components to avoid mismatch when putting back the components.
Reassembly
Reassembly is the reverse of the disassembly process. Use care to ensure that all cables and screws are returned to their proper positions. Check that no tools or any loose parts have been left inside the casing. Check that everything is properly installed and tightened .
Required Tools
To disassemble the computer, you need the following tools:
n Wrist grounding strap and conductive mat for preventing electrostatic discharge. n Small Phillips screwdriver. n Small flat screwdriver.

Hazardous Voltage
There is hazardous voltage present inside the notebook when it is connected to an AC supply, even when the notebook’s power switch is off. Exposure to hazardous voltage could cause personal injury. To avoid risk of injury, contact an Authoriz ed Service Provider for proper (un)installation o f opti onal hardware devices.
Avoid Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic electricity can easily damage circuit cards and integrated circuits (ICs). To reduce risk of damage , store them in pr otective packaging whenever they are not installed in the system.
Add-in cards can be extr emely sensiti ve to ESD and always require careful handling. After removing the card from the notebook, place the card flat on a grounded, static-free surface, component-side up. Use a conductive foam pad if available, but not the card wrapper. Do not slide the card over any surface.
Before you install or remove memory modules, video memory, disk drives, circuit cards or other devices, protect them from static electricity. To do so, make sure the notebook’s power switch is OFF. Then, unplug th e notebook’s AC power cord. Before picking up the device you (un)install, you should wear an anti-static wrist wrap (availabl e at electronic supply stores). Be sure to connect the wrist wrap to an unpainted metal portion of the notebook casing. As an alternative, you can dissipa te el ectrostatic bui ld-up by touchi n g an unpainted metal portion of the notebook casing with one hand. Then touch the device you are (un)installing with the other hand, and maintain continuous contact with it until it is (un)installed in the notebook.
WARNING
Ensure that the notebook is disconnected from its power source an d from all telecomm unications lin ks , networks, or modem lines whenever the casing cover is removed. Do not operate the notebook with the cover removed.

Das System darf weder an eine Stromq uelle angeschlossen sein noch eine Verbindung mit einer Telekommunikatio nseinrichtung, einem Netzwerk oder einer Modem-Leitung haben, wenn die Gehäuseabdeckung entfernt wird. Nehmen Sie das System nicht oh ne die Abdeckung in Betr ieb.
ADVERTENCIA
Asegúrese de que cada v ez que se quite la cubierta del portátil, el sistema haya sido desconectado de la red de alimentación y de todos lo enlaces de telecomunicaciones, de red y de líneas de módem. No ponga en funcionamiento el sistema mientras la cubierta esté quitada.
WAARSCHUWING
