When to Reconfigure the Computer CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional equipment. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. Refer to Appendix F for more information. 3. Open the computer by removing the side panel and front bezel, if required. Refer to the sections "Removing the Computer Side Panel" and "Removing the Front Bezel" in this chapter for instructions. Compaq recommends that you turn the minitower on its side, with the open side up, for installation of any equipment other than drives. 4. Install any optional equipment (ISA or PCI expansion board, processor upgrade, memory, drive). Refer to the applicable sections or the documentation that comes with the optional equipment for instructions. 5. Replace the front bezel and side panel. 6. Turn on the monitor, computer, and any devices you want to test. 7. Reconfigure the computer, if necessary. Refer to Chapter 8, "Using Compaq Utilities," for instructions. 8. If you normally lock the Smart Cover Lock, use Computer Setup to relock the lock. 9. Test the computer (optional) using the TEST utility. System configuration is the process of specifying the devices and programs that make up a computer system. When you add or remove optional equipment, you must reconfigure the computer to recognize these changes. Windows 95 and Windows NT automatically recognize all Plug and Play devices installed. However, if the device is not a Plug and Play device or is not installed properly, follow the instructions below: 1. Go to the Control Panel. 2. Select the Add New Hardware icon. 3. Follow the instructions on the screen. 7-2 Upgrading the Minitower Computer
