Installing or Replacing Parts
Tools and Safety
Most hardware replacement tasks do not require any tools. However, to prevent possible damage
from static electricity, you will need:
■ Static-free mat
■ Static strap
These tasks require tools:
■ If you are adding or replacing a processor, you will need the special processor tool that is
provided with the new processor.
■ If you are removing or replacing the front control module, you will need a T-15 Torx driver.

WARNING: For hardware installation procedures, you must power off the system, unplug the power
cord from the outlet, and wait for all LEDs to turn off.

WARNING: If you have any doubt that you can lift the system or monitor safely, do not try to move them
without help.
NOTE: To maintain FCC/EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) compliance, replace all covers
and make sure all screws are properly seated after you replace components.
To prevent damage to this system, observe all of the following ESD precautions while
performing the system parts removal/replacement procedures:
■ Work on a static-free mat.
■ Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is discharged from
your body to ground.
■ Create a common ground for the equipment you are working on by connecting the static-free
mat, static strap and peripheral units to that piece of equipment.
■ Keep uninstalled printed circuit boards in their protective antistatic bags.
■ Handle printed circuit boards by their edges, once you have removed them from their
protective antistatic bags.
