Aptiva - 2136 Removals and replacements - Index

Applicable to: World-Wide

See Safety Notice following:

BEFORE REMOVING ANY FRU, POWER-OFF THE COMPUTER, UNPLUG ALL POWER CORDS FROM ELECTRICAL OUTLETS, THEN DISCONNECT ANY
INTERCONNECTING CABLES.

Attention: The system board, processors, adapter cards, SIMMs, and upgrade processors can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge. Use an electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap to establish personal grounding. If you don't have an ESD strap, establish
personal grounding by touching a ground point with one hand before touching the static-sensitive FRUs.

The arrows in the removals and replacements procedures show the direction of movement to remove a field-replaceable unit
(FRU), to turn a screw, or to press a tab to release the FRU.

Begin all removals by removing the cover (and rear cover, if applicable).

When other FRUs must be removed prior to removing the failing FRU, they are listed at the top of the page. Go to the removal
procedure for each FRU listed, remove the FRU, and then continue with the removal of the failing FRU.

To replace a FRU, reverse the removal procedure and follow any notes that pertain to replacement.

Before disconnecting any cables, note their locations. Reinstall any new FRUs with cables in the same locations.

Removal Sequence

The following chart shows you how to remove certain system components without going through the whole removal process.

*Note: You can connect the Audio I/O Board cable to the system board first before assembling the other components.
