Safety Precautions
Observe the following safety precautions before performing any installation or break/fix procedures involving disassembly or reassembly:
Turn off the system and any attached peripherals.
Disconnect the system and any attached peripherals from AC power, and then remove the battery.
Disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the system.
Use a wrist grounding strap and mat when working inside any computer system to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
After removing any system component, carefully place the removed component on an antistatic mat.
Wear shoes with nonconductive rubber soles to help reduce the chance of being shocked or seriously injured in an electrical accident.
Standby Power
Dell products with standby power must be completely unplugged before opening the case. Systems that incorporate standby power are essentially powered while turned off.
The internal power enables the system to be suspended into a sleep mode, and have other advanced power management features. After unplugging the system, allow the
charge to drain from the circuits by waiting approximately 30 to 45 seconds before removing components.
ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) Protection
ESD is a major concern when handling electronic components, especially sensitive devices such as expansion cards, processors, memory DIMMs, and system boards. Very
slight charges can damage circuits in ways that may not be obvious, such as intermittent problems or a shortened product lifespan. As the industry pushes for lower power
requirements and increased density, ESD protection is an increasing concern.
Due to the increased density of semiconductors used in recent Dell products the sensitivity to static damage is now higher than in previous Dell products, for this reason some
previously approved methods of handling parts are no longer applicable.
WARNING:
Do not use an ESD grounding strap when working on the internal parts of a monitor, like the CRT, because the stored voltage is extremely harmful.
There are two recognized types of ESD damage, "catastrophic" and "Intermittent" failures.
Catastrophic The damage causes an immediate and complete loss of device functionality. An example of catastrophic failure is a memory DIM which has received a
static shock and immediately generates a "No POST/No Video" symptom with a beep code emitted for a missing or nonfunctional memory.
NOTE:
Catastrophic failures only represent roughly 20% of ESD related failures.
Intermittent The DIMM receives a static shock, but the tracing is merely weakened and does not immediately produce outward symptoms related to the damage. The
weakened trace might take weeks or months to melt, and in the meantime may cause degradation of memory integrity, intermittent memory errors, etc.
NOTE:
Intermittent failures represent almost 80% of ESD related failures. This means that the majority of the time when the damage occurs, it is not immediately
recognizable.
Of these two types, the more difficult to recognize and troubleshoot is the "Intermittent" (also called Latent or "walking wounded") failure. The image below is an example of an
"Intermittent" damage to a memory DIMM trace. As you can see, the damage is done although the symptoms may not become an issue or cause permanent failure symptoms
for some time after the damage occurs.
Intermittent (Latent) damage to a wiring trace
To prevent static damage, do the following:
Use a Wired (not wireless) ESD wrist strap that is properly grounded. The use of wireless antistatic straps in no longer allowed, as they do not give adequate
protection.
Wireless ESD Strap (Unacceptable)
Wired ESD Strap (Acceptable)
Furthermore, simply touching the chassis before handling parts is no longer allowed because this method does not ensure adequate ESD protection on parts with
increased sensitivity to ESD damage.
Chassis "Bare metal" Grounding (Unacceptable)
Handle all staticsensitive components in a staticsafe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
When handling staticsensitive components, grab them by the sides, not the top. Avoid touching pins and circuit boards.
When unpacking a staticsensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install
the component. Before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
Before transporting a staticsensitive component, place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
Insulator Elements
It is critical to keep ESD sensitive devices away from internal parts which are insulators and are often highly charged. These are elements such as plastic heat sink casings.
DIMM lying on an insulator part (plastic heat sink shroud) Unacceptable DIMM kept separate from the insulator part Acceptable
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 antistatic bags for safe transport.
ESD Protection Summary
It is strongly suggested that all field service engineers use the traditional "wired" ESD grounding wrist strap and protective antistatic mat at all times when servicing Dell
products. In addition, it is critical that the engineer keep sensitive parts separate from all "insulator" parts while performing service and use antistatic bags for transport of
sensitive components.
Lifting Equipment
CAUTION:
Do not lift greater than 50 pounds independently. Always obtain assistance from a second person or utilize a mechanical lifting device.
Adhere to the following guidelines when lifting equipment:
1. Get a firm balanced footing. Keep your feet apart for a stable base, and point your toes out.
2. Bend your knees. Do not bend at the waist.
3. Tighten stomach muscles. Abdominal muscles support your spine when you lift, offsetting the force of the load.
4. Lift with your legs, not your back.
5. Keep the load close. The closer it is to your spine, the less force it exerts on your back.
6. 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.
7. Follow the same techniques in reverse to set the load down.
