Before you start to work on the computer, perform the following steps:
1. To avoid possible damage to the computer from ESD, periodically
ground yourself by touching the metal surface of an I/O connector
on the computer’s back panel.
2. Save any work in progress and close all open application programs.
3. Turn off the computer and any attached peripherals.
NOTE: Make sure the computer is turned off and not in suspend-to-disk
mode. If you cannot shut down the computer using the computer’s
operating system, press the power button for 4 seconds.
4. If the computer is docked in a C/Port Advanced Port Replicator (APR)
or C/Dock Expansion Station, undock the computer.

AC power sources to reduce the potential for personal injury or
shock. Also disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines
from the computer.
