36 Chapter 3: Replacing Pre-Installed Components
3.1.3 Precautions
Components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by
static electricity. Working on a system that is connected to a
power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the guidelines
below to avoid damage to the Transport GT28 or injury to yourself.
• Ground yourself properly before removing the top cover
of the system. Unplug the power from your computer
power supply and then touch a safely grounded object to
release static charge (i.e. power supply case). If avail-
able, wear a grounded wrist strap. Alternatively, discharge
any static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis of
the unit case, or the bare metal body of any other
grounded appliance.
• Avoid touching motherboard components, IC chips, con-
nectors, memory modules, and leads.
• The motherboard is pre-installed in the system. When
removing the motherboard, always place it on a grounded
anti-static surface until you are ready to reinstall it.
• Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not
touch the components on the board unless it is necessary
to do so. Do not flex or stress circuit boards.
• Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging
that they ship with until they are ready for installation.
• After replacing optional devices, make sure all screws,
springs, or other small parts are in place and are not left
loose inside the case. Metallic parts or metal flakes can
cause electrical shorts.
Notes:
• All connectors are keyed to only attach one way.
• Always use the correct screw size as indicated in the pro-
cedures.
