3 Installing and Replacing Board Components

Before You Begin

WARNING

The procedures in this chapter assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with

personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and

modifying electronic equipment.

Disconnect the computer from its power source and from any telecommunications links, networks,

or modems before performing any of the procedures described in this chapter. Failure to disconnect

power, telecommunications links, networks, or modems before you open the computer or perform

any procedures can result in personal injury or equipment damage. Some circuitry on the board can

continue to operate even though the front panel power button is off.

Follow these guidelines before you begin:

• Always follow the steps in each procedure in the correct order.

• Set up a log to record information about your computer, such as model, serial numbers,

installed options, and configuration information.

• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. Perform the procedures described in

this chapter only at an ESD workstation using an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam

pad. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an

antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.

Installation Precautions

When you install and test the board, observe all warnings and cautions in the installation

instructions.

To avoid injury, be careful of:

• Sharp pins on connectors

• Sharp pins on printed circuit assemblies

• Rough edges and sharp corners on the chassis

• Hot components (like processors, voltage regulators, and heat sinks)

• Damage to wires that could cause a short circuit

Observe all warnings and cautions that instruct you to refer computer servicing to qualified technical

personnel.
