Working Inside the Computer

This chapter provides information about peripheral component interconnect (PCI)
expansion cards, memory, internal storage devices, and the computer’s battery. The chapter
also explains how to install these items.

Installation involves four procedures (detailed steps for each are provided later in this
chapter):
m turning off the computer
m opening the computer
m inserting the device into a slot or open position on the drive carrier
m closing the computer

Warning

Always turn off the computer before opening it to avoid damaging any of its

internal components.

Warning

Apple Computer recommends that you have an Apple-certified technician

install memory, PCI expansion cards, and internal storage devices. Consult the service and
support information that came with your computer for instructions on how to contact an
Apple-authorized service provider or Apple for service. If you install these items yourself,
you risk damaging your equipment, and such damage is not covered by the limited
warranty on your computer. See an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider for
additional information about this or any other warranty question.
