4–2 Maintenance and Service Guide
Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
4.2 Service Considerations
The following sections include some of the considerations
that you should keep in mind during disassembly and assembly
procedures.
✎As you remove each subassembly from the computer, place
the subassembly (and all accompanying screws) away from
the work area to prevent damage.
Plastic Parts
Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can
damage plastic parts. Use care when handling the plastic parts.
Apply pressure only at the points designated in the maintenance
instructions.
Cables and Connectors
ÄCAUTION: When servicing the computer, ensure that cables are
placed in their proper locations during the reassembly process.
Improper cable placement can damage the computer.
Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage.
Apply only the tension required to unseat or seat the cables
during removal and insertion. Handle cables by the connector
whenever possible. In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or
tearing cables. Ensure that cables are routed in such a way that
they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or
replaced. Handle flex cables with extreme care; these cables
tear easily.

Maintenance and Service Guide 4–3
4.3 Preventing Damage to
Removable Drives
Removable drives are fragile components that must be handled
with care. To prevent damage to the computer, damage to a
removable drive, or loss of information, observe the following
precautions:
■Before removing or inserting a hard drive, shut down the
computer. If you are unsure whether the computer is off or
in Hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it down
through the operating system.
■Before removing a diskette drive or optical drive, ensure that
a diskette or disc is not in the drive and ensure that the optical
drive tray is closed.
■Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of
static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the
connector.
■Handle drives on surfaces covered with at least one inch of
shock-proof foam.
■Avoid dropping drives from any height onto any surface.
■After removing a hard drive, CD-ROM drive, or a diskette
drive, place it in a static-proof bag.
■Avoid exposing a hard drive to products that have magnetic
fields, such as monitors or speakers.
■Avoid exposing a drive to temperature extremes or liquids.
■If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble pack
mailer or other suitable form of protective packaging and label
the package, “FRAGILE: Handle With Care.”

4.4 Preventing Electrostatic Damage
Many electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Circuitry design and structure determine the
degree of sensitivity. Networks built into many integrated circuits
provide some protection, but in many cases, the discharge
contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt
silicon junctions.
A sudden discharge of static electricity from a finger or other
conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry.
Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs.
An electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge might not
be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal
cycle. Or the device might function normally for a while, then
degrade in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.

Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
Maintenance and Service Guide 4–5
4.5 Packaging and Transporting
Precautions
Use the following grounding precautions when packaging and
transporting equipment:
■To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe
containers, such as tubes, bags, or boxes.
■Protect all electrostatic-sensitive parts and assemblies with
conductive or approved containers or packaging.
■Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until
the parts arrive at static-free workstations.
■Place items on a grounded surface before removing items
from their containers.
■Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive
component or assembly.
■Store reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies
in protective packaging or nonconductive foam.
■Use transporters and conveyors made of antistatic belts and
roller bushings. Ensure that mechanized equipment used for
moving materials is wired to ground and that proper materials
are selected to avoid static charging. When grounding is not
possible, use an ionizer to dissipate electric charges.

4–6 Maintenance and Service Guide
Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
4.6 Workstation Precautions
Use the following grounding precautions at workstations:
■Cover the workstation with approved static-shielding material
(refer to Table 4-2, “Static-Shielding Materials”).
■Use a wrist strap connected to a properly grounded work
surface and use properly grounded tools and equipment.
■Use conductive field service tools, such as cutters,
screwdrivers, and vacuums.
■When using fixtures that must directly contact dissipative
surfaces, only use fixtures made of static-safe materials.
■Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such
as ordinary plastic assembly aids and Styrofoam.
■Handle electrostatic-sensitive components, parts, and
assemblies by the case or PCM laminate. Handle these
items only at static-free workstations.
■Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
■Turn off power and input signals before inserting or removing
connectors or test equipment.

Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
Maintenance and Service Guide 4–7
4.7 Grounding Equipment and
Methods
Grounding equipment must include either a wrist strap or a
foot strap at a grounded workstation.
■When seated, wear a wrist strap connected to a grounded
system. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of
one megohm ±10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide
proper ground, wear a strap snugly against the skin at all times.
On grounded mats with banana-plug connectors, use alligator
clips to connect a wrist strap.
■When standing, use foot straps and a grounded floor mat.
Foot straps (heel, toe, or boot straps) can be used at standing
workstations and are compatible with most types of shoes
or boots. On conductive floors or dissipative floor mats, use
foot straps on both feet with a minimum of one megohm
resistance between the operator and ground. To be effective,
the conductive strips must be worn in contact with the skin.
Other grounding equipment recommended for use in preventing
electrostatic damage includes
■Antistatic tape.
■Antistatic smocks, aprons, and sleeve protectors.
■Conductive bins and other assembly or soldering aids.
■Nonconductive foam.
■Conductive tabletop workstations with ground cords of
one megohm resistance.
■Static-dissipative tables or floor mats with hard ties to
the ground.
■Field service kits.
■Static awareness labels.
■Material-handling packages.
■Nonconductive plastic bags, tubes, or boxes.
■Metal tote boxes.
■Electrostatic voltage levels and protective materials.

Backup and Recovery
Recovering System Information
Tools provided by the operating system and PC Recovery
software are designed to help you with the following tasks for
safeguarding your information and restoring it in case of a system
failure:
■Back up your information regularly to protect your important
system files.
■Make a set of recovery discs (PC Recovery software feature).
Recovery discs are used to start up (boot) your computer and
restore the operating system and software programs to factory
settings in case of system failure or instability.
■Create system restore points (operating system feature).
System restore points allow you to reverse undesirable
changes to your computer by restoring the computer to an
earlier state.
■Recover a program or driver (PC Recovery software feature).
This feature helps you reinstall a program or driver without
performing a full system recovery.
■Perform a full system recovery (PC Recovery software
feature). With PC Recovery, you can recover your full
factory image if you experience system failure or instability.
PC Recovery works from a dedicated recovery partition on
the hard drive or from recovery discs you create.
Maintenance and Service Guide

B–2 Maintenance and Service Guide
Backup and Recovery
Backing Up Your Information
When to Back Up
■On a regularly scheduled basis.
✎Set reminders to back up your information periodically.
■Before the computer is repaired or restored.
■Before you add or modify hardware or software.
Backup Suggestions
■Create system restore points using Windows XP Professional
System Restore feature.
■Store personal files in the My Documents folder and back up
these folders periodically.
■Back up templates stored in their associated programs.
■Save customized settings in a window, toolbar, or menu bar
by taking a screen shot of your settings.
The screen shot can be a time saver if you have to reset your
preferences.
To copy the screen and paste it into a Word document:
a. Display the screen.
b. Copy the screen:
To copy only the active window, press alt+fn+prt sc.
To copy the entire screen, press fn+prt sc.
c. To paste the copied images into a document, open Word,
and then select Edit > Paste.

Backup and Recovery
Maintenance and Service Guide B–3
Using System Restore Points
When you back up your system, you are creating a system restore
point. A system restore point allows you to save and name a
snapshot of your hard drive at a specific point in time. You can
then recover back to that point if you want to reverse subsequent
changes made to your system.
✎Recovering to an earlier restore point does not affect data files
saved or e-mails created since the last restore point.
You also can create additional restore points to provide increased
protection for your system files and settings.
When to Create Restore Points
■Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.
■Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.
✎If you revert to a restore point and then change your mind, you
can reverse the restoration.
Create a System Restore Point
1. Select Start > Help and Support, and then click System
Restore.
The System Restore window opens.
2. Click Create a restore point, and then click Next.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

B–4 Maintenance and Service Guide
Backup and Recovery
Restore to a Previous Date and Time
To revert to a restore point (created at a previous date and time),
when the computer was functioning optimally:
1. Select Start > Help and Support, and then click System
Restore.
The System Restore window opens.
2. Click Restore my computer to an earlier time, and then
click Next.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Creating Recovery Discs
PC Recovery Disc Creator creates a set of recovery CDs or DVDs
for the computer. Use recovery discs to restore the operating
system and software programs to factory settings, in case of
system failure or instability.
✎Handle these discs carefully and keep them in a safe place. The
software allows the creation of only one set of recovery discs.
Note the following guidelines before creating recovery discs:
