1 Working on your computer Safety instructions Prerequisites Use the following safety guidelines to protect your computer from potential damage and to ensure your personal safety. Unless otherwise noted, each procedure included in this document assumes that the following conditions exist: • • You have read the safety information that shipped with your computer. A component can be replaced or, if purchased separately, installed by performing the removal procedure in reverse order.
6. Press and hold the power button while the computer is unplugged to ground the system board. NOTE: To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface at the same time as touching a connector on the back of the computer. Safety precautions The safety precautions chapter details the primary steps to be taken before performing any disassembly instructions.
ESD field service kit The unmonitored Field Service kit is the most commonly used service kit. Each Field Service kit includes three main components: antistatic mat, wrist strap, and bonding wire. Components of an ESD field service kit The components of an ESD field service kit are: • • • • • • • Anti-Static Mat – The anti-static mat is dissipative and parts can be placed on it during service procedures.
4. Keep the load close. The closer it is to your spine, the less force it exerts on your back. 5. Keep your back upright, whether lifting or setting down the load. Do not add the weight of your body to the load. Avoid twisting your body and back. 6. Follow the same techniques in reverse to set the load down. After working inside your computer About this task After you complete any replacement procedure, ensure that you connect any external devices, cards, and cables before turning on your computer.
2 Technology and components This chapter details the technology and components available in the system. Topics: • • • • USB features USB Type-C HDMI 1.4a Power button LED behavior USB features Universal Serial Bus, or USB, was introduced in 1996. It dramatically simplified the connection between host computers and peripheral devices like mice, keyboards, external drivers, and printers. Let's take a quick look on the USB evolution referencing to the table below. Table 1.
• • USB 2.0 previously had four wires (power, ground, and a pair for differential data); USB 3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1 adds four more for two pairs of differential signals (receive and transmit) for a combined total of eight connections in the connectors and cabling. USB 3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1 utilizes the bidirectional data interface, rather than USB 2.0's half-duplex arrangement. This gives a 10-fold increase in theoretical bandwidth.
Windows 7, SuperSpeed support would trickle down to Vista. Microsoft has confirmed this by stating that most of their partners share the opinion that Vista should also support USB 3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1. USB Type-C USB Type-C is a new, tiny physical connector. The connector itself can support various exciting new USB standards like USB 3.1 and USB power delivery (USB PD). Alternate Mode USB Type-C is a new connector standard that is very small. It is about a third the size of an old USB Type-A plug.
Thunderbolt 3 over USB Type-C Thunderbolt 3 brings Thunderbolt to USB Type-C at speeds up to 40 Gbps, creating one compact port that does it all - delivering the fastest, most versatile connection to any dock, display or data device like an external hard drive. Thunderbolt 3 uses a USB Type-C connector/port to connect to supported peripherals. 1. 2. 3. 4. Thunderbolt 3 uses USB Type-C connector and cables - It is compact and reversible Thunderbolt 3 supports speed up to 40 Gbps DisplayPort 1.
Advantages of HDMI • • • • • Quality HDMI transfers uncompressed digital audio and video for the highest, crispest image quality.
Power button with fingerprint reader will have no LED and will leverage the available LED's in the system to provide indication of the system status • Power Adapter LED: • ○ The LED on Power adapter connector illuminates white when power is supplied from electrical outlet. Battery Indicator LED: ○ If the computer is connected to an electrical outlet, the battery light operates as follows: 1. Solid white -the battery is charging. When the charge is complete the LED turns off.
