Removing the Computer Core From the Enclosure
 
1
Place your computer on a clean, flat surface.
2
Shut down your computer by opening the Special menu and choosing 
Shut Down. Then wait five minutes for the computer’s internal 
components to cool down.
3
Unplug all cables from the computer except the power cord.
 
Note:
 
  If you have never plugged in your computer, connect the 
computer’s power cord and plug it in.
4
Turn the computer on its side on a soft, clean cloth, and ground yourself 
by touching the bare metal between the video ports.
 
Important:
 
 To avoid electrostatic discharge, always ground yourself 
by touching the bare metal before you touch any parts or install any 
components inside the computer. To avoid static electricity building 
back up in your body, do not walk around the room until you have 
completed the installation and closed the computer.
