Adding System Memory and Upgrading the
Internal Hard Drive
General Precautions
Before adding system memory or upgrading the hard drive be sure to
carefully read all of the applicable instructions, cautions, and warnings in this
guide.
Å
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock and/or hot surfaces, be
sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet, and allow the internal system
components to cool before touching.
Ä
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the Personal Computer or
optional equipment. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static
electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. Refer to “Electrostatic Discharge” in the
Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
Uninstalling the iPAQ Desktop Security Bar
When installed, the iPAQ Desktop Security Bar protects the memory modules
and internal hard drive by preventing removal of the side covers. It also
secures the Legacy Module (if installed). Depending upon how it is installed,
the Security Bar can also disable the MultiBay eject button, so that a drive
installed in the MultiBay cannot be removed. Refer to Installing the iPAQ
Desktop Security Baron page 6-12.
To remove the side panels or Legacy Module, you must first remove the
security bar, if installed.
