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...

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, then shut it down.
■Before removing a...

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.

■Store reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in 
protective packaging or nonconductive foam.
■Use transporters and conveyers 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.

4.7 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, 
connect a...
