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.

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 an internal 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.
