Replacing Parts

Accessing Internal Computer Components

Note: if you would like to replace the system board or microprocessor,

please contact the Compaq Technical Support Centre at the telephone

number listed in your warranty.

Your safety is important. Before performing any procedures involving the

components, take a few minutes to read the Warning and Caution

Statements in the Introduction chapter of the Getting Started and Beyond

Guide. Following the guidelines in these statements will help reduce the risk

of personal injury or equipment damage.

1. Turn off the computer

according to the instructions

provided in the Getting

Started and Beyond Guide.

2. Disconnect the power cable

from the wall socket and

computer.

3. Disconnect all peripheral

device cables from the computer.

4. Remove the screws securing

the side access panel.

5. Locate the latch directly

below the screw, pull down,

and hold in the down

position.

Replacing Parts

Your computer is

constructed with an Easy

Access panel. This design

makes accessing the

internal parts easy.

Failure to disconnect the

power from the computer

may result in personal injury.

Before working with the

components inside the

computer, you must ground

yourself and the equipment to

prevent static electricity from

damaging the parts. To

discharge any static buildup,

you should touch a metal part

of the computer chassis

before touching any internal

parts.

The screw(s) securing the

side access panel are for

shipping purposes only and

do not need to be replaced.

DVD. These discs store

massive amounts of

information.

Your CD-ROM drive

allows you to read data

from a CD. A CD holds

600 MB of data.

The CD-RW drive allows

you to read and write data

to disc(s) for permanent

storage. The CD-RW drive

allows you to record video

and audio.

The DVD-ROM drive

allows you to view your

favourite movies and listen

to music on DVDs. It can
