CAUTION:

Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the

safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.

To guard against likelihood of electric shock, laceration by moving fan

blades or other unexpected injuries, always unplug your computer from the
electrical outlet before opening the cover.

The heat sink assembly, power supply, and other components may be

very hot during normal operation. Be sure that they have had sufficient time to cool
before you touch them.

To prevent static damage to components inside your computer, discharge

static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer’s electronic
components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the
computer chassis.
