CAUTION: If you are replacing a hard drive, be sure to back up the data from the old drive so that you can
transfer the data to the new drive.

2. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
CAUTION: Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always present on the system board as long as

the internal components of the computer.
