electricity discharge” on page 84.
2 Turn off your notebook.
3 Disconnect from the optional port replicator.
4 Disconnect the AC adapter, modem cable, and network
cable, if they are connected to the notebook.
5 Disconnect all peripheral devices connected to the
notebook and remove any PC cards.
6 Turn your notebook over so the bottom is facing up,
then remove the main and optional secondary batteries.
For more information, see “Changing batteries” on
page 59.
