Chapter 4. Installing and Removing Options

Adding hardware options to your system increases its capabilities. Many options are
available (see “Available Options” below). This section can help you decide which
options to add to your system unit, and shows you how to install them. When adding
an option, use these instructions along with those that came with the option.

If you have installed (or removed) options before, you might be able to perform some
activities without detailed instructions. These activities are listed in the “Before you
begin” boxes of the procedures.

Before you install or remove an option, be sure you are familiar with the safety
procedures and component-handling guidelines described in “Safety Considerations”
on page 4-2. These precautions and guidelines help you work safely with your
system unit or options.
