Removal and replacement

procedures

Preliminary replacement requirements

Tools required

You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:

●

Magnetic screwdriver

●

Phillips P0 and P1 screwdrivers

●

Flat-bladed screwdriver

Service considerations

The following sections include some of the considerations that you must keep in mind during disassembly

and assembly procedures.

NOTE: As you remove each subassembly from the computer, place the subassembly (and all

accompanying screws) away from the work area to prevent damage.

Plastic parts

Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can damage plastic parts. Use care when

handling the plastic parts. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the maintenance instructions.

Cables and connectors

CAUTION: When servicing the computer, be sure that cables are placed in their proper locations

during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the computer.

Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to unseat

or seat the cables during removal and insertion. Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In

all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing cables. Be sure that cables are routed in such a way that

they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced. Handle flex cables with extreme

care; these cables tear easily.

Preliminary replacement requirements 31

Drive handling

CAUTION: Drives are fragile components that must be handled with care. To prevent damage to the

computer, damage to a drive, or loss of information, observe these precautions:

Before removing or inserting a hard drive, shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether the computer

is off or in Hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it down through the operating system.

Before handling a drive, be sure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive,

avoid touching the connector.

Before removing a diskette drive or optical drive, be sure that a diskette or disc is not in the drive and be

sure that the optical drive tray is closed.

Handle drives on surfaces covered with at least one inch of shock-proof foam.

Avoid dropping drives from any height onto any surface.

After removing a hard drive, an optical drive, or a diskette drive, place it in a static-proof bag.

Avoid exposing a hard drive to products that have magnetic fields, such as monitors or speakers.

Avoid exposing a drive to temperature extremes or liquids.

If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble pack mailer or other suitable form of protective

packaging and label the package “FRAGILE.”

Grounding guidelines

Electrostatic discharge damage

Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Circuitry design and structure

determine the degree of sensitivity. Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection,

but in many cases, ESD contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.

A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or

microcircuitry. Even if the spark is neither felt nor heard, damage may have occurred.

An electronic device exposed to ESD may not be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a

normal cycle. Or the device may function normally for a while, then degrade in the internal layers,

reducing its life expectancy.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the computer when you are removing or installing internal

components, observe these precautions:

Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until you area ready to install them.

Use nonmagnetic tools.

Before touching an electronic component, discharge static electricity by using the guidelines described in

this section.

Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry. Handle electronic components as little as possible.

If you remove a component, place it in an electrostatic-safe container.

The following table shows how humidity affects the electrostatic voltage levels generated by different

activities.

CAUTION: A product can be degraded by as little as 700 V.

Packing PCBs in foam-lined box 21,000 V 11,000 V 5,000 V

Packaging and transporting guidelines

Follow these grounding guidelines when packaging and transporting equipment:

●

To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe tubes, bags, or boxes.

●

Protect ESD-sensitive parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or packaging.

●

Keep ESD-sensitive parts in their containers until the parts arrive at static-free workstations.

●

Place items on a grounded surface before removing items from their containers.

●

Always be properly grounded when touching a component or assembly.

●

Store reusable ESD-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or nonconductive foam.

●

Use transporters and conveyors made of antistatic belts and roller bushings. Be sure that mechanized

equipment used for moving materials is wired to ground and that proper materials are selected to

avoid static charging. When grounding is not possible, use an ionizer to dissipate electric charges.

Workstation guidelines

Follow these grounding workstation guidelines:

●

Cover the workstation with approved static-shielding material.

●

Use a wrist strap connected to a properly grounded work surface and use properly grounded tools

and equipment.

●

Use conductive field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums.

●

When fixtures must directly contact dissipative surfaces, use fixtures made only of static-safe

materials.

●

Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and

Styrofoam.

●

Handle ESD-sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCM laminate. Handle these

items only at static-free workstations.

Preliminary replacement requirements 33

●

Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.

●

Turn off power and input signals before inserting or removing connectors or test equipment.

Equipment guidelines

Grounding equipment must include either a wrist strap or a foot strap at a grounded workstation.

●

When seated, wear a wrist strap connected to a grounded system. Wrist straps are flexible straps

with a minimum of one megohm ±10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground,

wear a strap snugly against the skin at all times. On grounded mats with banana-plug connectors,

use alligator clips to connect a wrist strap.

●

When standing, use foot straps and a grounded floor mat. Foot straps (heel, toe, or boot straps) can

be used at standing workstations and are compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On

conductive floors or dissipative floor mats, use foot straps on both feet with a minimum of one megohm

resistance between the operator and ground. To be effective, the conductive strips must be worn in

contact with the skin.

The following grounding equipment is recommended to prevent electrostatic damage:

●

Antistatic tape

●

Antistatic smocks, aprons, and sleeve protectors

●

Conductive bins and other assembly or soldering aids

●

Nonconductive foam

●

Conductive tabletop workstations with ground cords of one megohm resistance

●

Static-dissipative tables or floor mats with hard ties to the ground

●

Field service kits

●

Static awareness labels

●

Material-handling packages

●

Nonconductive plastic bags, tubes, or boxes

●

Metal tote boxes

●

Electrostatic voltage levels and protective materials

The following table lists the shielding protection provided by antistatic bags and floor mats.

Backup and Recovery

Recovering system information

Tools provided by the operating system and Recovery Manager software are designed to help you with

the following tasks for safeguarding your information and restoring it in case of a system failure:

●

Backing up your information regularly to protect your important system files.

●

Making a set of recovery discs (Recovery Manager software feature). Recovery discs are used to

start up (boot) your computer and restore the operating system and software programs to factory

settings in case of system failure or instability.

●

Creating system restore points (operating system feature). System restore points allow you to reverse

undesirable changes to your computer by restoring the computer to an earlier state.

●

Recovering a program or driver (Recovery Manager software feature). This feature helps you reinstall

a program or driver without performing a full system recovery.

●

Performing a full system recovery (Recovery Manager software feature). With Recovery Manager,

you can recover your full factory image if you experience system failure or instability. Recovery

Manager works from a dedicated recovery partition on the hard drive or from recovery discs you

create.Back up your information regularly to protect your important system files.

Creating recovery discs

After setting up the computer for the first time, be sure to create a set of recovery discs of the full factory

image. The recovery discs are used to start up (boot) the computer and recover the operating system and

software to factory settings in case of system instability or failure.

NOTE: Handle these discs carefully and keep them in a safe place. The software allows the creation of

only one set of recovery discs.

Note the following guidelines before creating recovery discs:

●

You will need high quality CD-R, DVD-R, DVD-R with double-layer support, DVD+R, or DVD+R with

double-layer support discs (purchased separately).

NOTE: Read-write discs, such as CD-RW, DVD ± RW, and DVD±RW double-layer discs, are not

compatible with the Recovery Manager software.

●

The computer must be connected to AC power during this process.

●

Only one set of recovery discs can be created per computer.

●

Number each disc before inserting it into the computer optical drive.

●

If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery discs. The next

time you open Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue the disc creation process.

116 Chapter 8 Backup and Recovery

To create a set of recovery discs:

1. Select Start > All Programs > Recovery Manager > Recovery Manager.

Recovery Manager opens.

2. Click Advanced Options.

NOTE: If you are operating the computer on battery power, you will be prompted to connect to

AC power before you can go to the next step.

3. Click Recovery disc creation, and then click Next.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

Backing up your information

When to back up

●

On a regularly scheduled basis

NOTE: Set reminders to back up your information periodically.

●

Before the computer is repaired or restored

●

Before you add or modify hardware or software

Backup suggestions

●

Create a set of recovery discs using Recovery Manager.

●

Create system restore points using the Windows System Restore feature, and periodically copy them

to disc.

●

Store personal files in the Documents folder and back up these folders periodically.

●

Back up templates stored in their associated programs.

●

Save customized settings in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot of your settings.

The screen shot can be a time saver if you have to reset your preferences.

To copy the screen and paste it into a word-processing document follow these steps:

Display the screen.

Copy the screen:

To copy only the active screen, press alt+fn+prt sc.

To copy the entire screen, press fn+prt sc.

c. Open a word-processing document, and then select Edit > Paste.

Using system restore points

When you back up your system, you are creating a system restore point. A system restore point allows

you to save and name a snapshot of your hard drive at a specific point in time. You can then recover

back to that point if you want to reverse subsequent changes made to your system.

NOTE: Recovering to an earlier restore point does not affect data files saved or e-mails created since

the last restore point.

Recovering system information 117

You also can create additional restore points to provide increased protection for your system files and

settings.

When to create restore points

●

Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware

●

Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally

NOTE: If you revert to a restore point and then change your mind, you can reverse the restoration.

Create a system restore point

1. Select Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System.

2. In the left pane, click System protection.

3. Click the System Protection tab.

4. Under Automatic restore points, select the disk for which you want to create a restore point.

5. Click Create.

The System Protection window opens.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

Restore to a previous date and time

To revert to a restore point (created at a previous date and time), when the computer was functioning

optimally, follow these steps:

1. Select Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System.

2. In the left pane, click System protection.

3. Click the System Protection tab.

4. Click the System Restore button, and then click Next.

The System Restore window opens.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

Performing a recovery

Recovery Manager software allows you to repair or restore the system if you experience system failure or

instability. Recovery Manager works from recovery discs that you create or from a dedicated recovery

partition on the hard drive.

NOTE: Windows has its own built-in repair features, such as System Restore and driver roll-back

capabilities. If you have not already tried these features, try them before using Recovery Manager.

NOTE: Recovery Manager recovers only software that was preinstalled at the factory. Software not

provided with this computer must be downloaded from the manufacturer's Web site or reinstalled from

the disc provided by the manufacturer.

118 Chapter 8 Backup and Recovery
