Turning Off Your Computer
1. Shut down the operating system:

Before Working Inside Your Computer
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential damage and to help ensure your own personal safety.
NOTICE: To avoid losing data, save and close any open files and exit any open programs before you turn off your computer.
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.
CAUTION: Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal
mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a processor by its edges, not by its pins.
NOTICE: Only a certified service technician should perform repairs on your computer. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not
covered by your warranty.
NOTICE: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with
locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before you disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep
them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly oriented and
aligned.
NOTICE: To avoid damaging the computer, perform the following steps before you begin working inside the computer.
1. Ensure that the work surface is flat and clean to prevent the computer cover from being scratched.
2. Turn off your computer.
3. If the computer is connected to a docking device, undock it. See the documentation that came with your docking device for instructions.
4. Disconnect any telephone, network, and USB cables from the computer.
5. Disconnect your computer power supply and all attached devices from their electrical outlets.
6. Remove any installed PC Cards from the PC Card slot.
7. Close the display and turn the computer upside down on a flat work surface.
8. Slide and hold the battery-bay latch release on the bottom of the computer, and then remove the battery from the battery bay
9. Remove any installed memory modules, modems, Mini PCI cards, internal cards with Bluetooth wireless technology, backup batteries, and optical
devices.
10. Remove the hard drive.
Computer Orientation
NOTICE: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer and then unplug it from the network port or device.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to components inside your computer, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer's
electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface.
NOTICE: To connect a network cable, first plug the cable into the network port or device and then plug it into the computer.
NOTICE: To avoid damaging the system board, you must remove the main battery before you service the computer.
