1 Working on your computer Topics: • • • Safety precautions Before working inside your computer After working inside your computer Safety precautions The safety precautions chapter details the primary steps to be taken before performing any disassembly instructions. Observe the following safety precautions before you perform any installation or break/fix procedures involving disassembly or reassembly: • • • • • • Turn off the system and all attached peripherals.
• Catastrophic – Catastrophic failures represent approximately 20 percent of ESD-related failures. The damage causes an immediate and complete loss of device functionality. An example of catastrophic failure is a memory DIMM that has received a static shock and immediately generates a "No POST/No Video" symptom with a beep code emitted for missing or nonfunctional memory. • Intermittent – Intermittent failures represent approximately 80 percent of ESD-related failures.
• Transporting Sensitive Components – When transporting ESD sensitive components such as replacement parts or parts to be returned to Dell, it is critical to place these parts in anti-static bags for safe transport. ESD protection summary It is recommended that all field service technicians use the traditional wired ESD grounding wrist strap and protective anti-static mat at all times when servicing Dell products.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the computer, use only the battery designed for this particular Dell computer. Do not use batteries designed for other Dell computers. 1 Replace the battery. 2 Replace the base cover. 3 Connect any external devices, such as a port replicator or media base, and replace any cards, such as an ExpressCard. 4 Connect any telephone or network cables to your computer.

that with 5-10 times the bandwidth available, USB video solutions should work that much better. Single-link DVI requires almost 2Gbps throughput. Where 480Mbps was limiting, 5Gbps is more than promising. With its promised 4.8Gbps speed, the standard will find its way into some products that previously weren't USB territory, like external RAID storage systems. Listed below are some of the available SuperSpeed USB 3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1 products: • External Desktop USB 3.0/USB 3.
• 3D - Defines input/output protocols for major 3D video formats, paving the way for true 3D gaming and 3D home theater applications • Content Type - Real-time signaling of content types between display and source devices, enabling a TV to optimize picture settings based on content type • Additional Color Spaces - Adds support for additional color models used in digital photography and computer graphics • 4K Support - Enables video resolutions far beyond 1080p, supporting next-generation displays tha
the underlying technology could just be USB 2 or USB 3.0. In fact, Nokia's N1 Android tablet uses a USB Type-C connector, but underneath it's all USB 2.0 — not even USB 3.0. However, these technologies are closely related.
