Chapter 5. Installing options You can expand the capabilities of your computer by adding adapters, drives, or memory. When adding an option, use these instructions along with the instructions that come with the option. Preparing to install options Important The presence of 5 V standby power might result in damage to your hardware unless you disconnect the power cord from the wall before opening the computer cover. Before you install any option, read the "Safety information" on page vii and "Handling static-sensitive devices." These precautions and guidelines will help you work safely. Be careful when working near the microprocessor. Under normal use, the microprocessor can become very hot. Handling static-sensitive devices Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components and options. When you add an option, do not open the static-protective package containing the option until you are instructed to do so. When you handle options and other computer components, take these precautions to avoid static electricity damage: Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you. Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, memory modules, and continuity RIMMs by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry. Prevent others from touching components. When you install a new option, touch the static-protective package containing the option to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body. When possible, remove the option and install it directly into the computer without setting the option down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective package that the option came in on a smooth, level surface and place the option on it. © Copyright IBM Corp. 1999 59

drives, or memory.
When adding an option, use these instructions along

Preparing to install options
Important
The presence of 5 V standby power might result in damage to your
hardware unless you disconnect the power cord from the wall before
opening the computer cover.
Before you install any option, read the
“Safety information” on page
vii and “Handling static-sensitive
devices.” These precautions and guidelines will help you work safely.
Be careful when working near the microprocessor.
Under normal use,
the microprocessor can become very hot.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer
components and options.
When you add an option, do
not
open the
static-protective package containing the option until you are instructed to
do so.
When you handle options and other computer components, take these
precautions to avoid static electricity damage:
±
Limit your movement.
Movement can cause static electricity to build
up around you.
±
Always handle components carefully.
Handle adapters, memory
modules, and continuity RIMMs by the edges.
Never touch any
exposed circuitry.
±
Prevent others from touching components.
±
When you install a new option, touch the static-protective package
containing the option to a metal expansion-slot cover or other
unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds.
This
reduces static electricity in the package and your body.
±
When possible, remove the option and install it directly into the
computer without setting the option down.
When this is not possible,
place the static-protective package that the option came in on a smooth,
level surface and place the option on it.
