HP Pavilion xl900 HP Pavilion Desktop PCs - (English) Upgrading and Servicing - Page 9

English Before You Begin Read the following items before attempting to upgrade or service the computer: These procedures assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment. Set up an equipment log to record the system model and serial numbers, all installed options, and other information about the system. If you need this information, it will be easier to consult the log than to open up and examine the system. You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a medium flat-blade screwdriver. HP recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam pad when working on the system. Disconnect the system from any telecommunications links, networks, or modems, and then disconnect the system power source before performing any of the procedures described in this guide. Failure to do so before you open the system or do any procedures can result in personal injury or equipment damage. To gain access to the inside of the computer, you need to remove the side panel. For some tasks, you might also need to remove the front drive cover, slide out the drive cage, or open the back panel door. upgrading and servicing the pc 5 Filename: ma1rwsc.doc Title: HP-Print2k.dot Template: HP-Print2K.dot Author: Ann Schmidt Last Saved By: Jerry C.
