Installing
options
This
chapter
provides
instructions
for
installing
optional
memory,
PCI
adapters,
drives,
and
security
features.
When
installing
an
option,
use
these
instructions
along
with
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
option.
Use
these
procedures
also
if
you
are
replacing
any
of
these
options
as
a
customer
replaceable
unit
(CRU).
See
Appendix
A,
“Replacing
customer
replaceable
units
(CRU),”
on
page
29
for
other
CRUs.
Important
Before
you
install
or
remove
any
option,
read
“Important
safety
information”
on
page
v.
These
precautions
and
guidelines
will
help
you
work
safely.
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:
v
Limit
your
movement.
Movement
can
cause
static
electricity
to
build
up
around
you.
v
Always
handle
components
carefully.
Handle
adapters
and
memory
modules
by
the
edges.
Never
touch
any
exposed
circuitry.
v
Prevent
others
from
touching
components.
v
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.
v
When
possible,
remove
the
option
and
install
it
directly
in
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.
v
Do
not
place
the
option
on
the
computer
cover
or
other
metal
surface.
Installing
external
options
This
section
shows
the
various
external
connectors
on
your
computer
to
which
you
can
attach
external
options,
such
as
external
speakers,
a
printer,
or
a
scanner.
For
some
external
options,
you
must
install
additional
software
in
addition
to
making
the
physical
connection.
When
adding
an
external
option,
use
the
information
in
this
section
to
identify
the
required
connector,
and
then
use
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
option
to
help
you
make
the
connection
and
install
any
software
or
device
drivers
that
are
required
for
the
option.
