When performing disassembly and assembly on your HP COMPAQ NX9020, keep the following in mind:

General: As you remove each subassembly, place it and its accompanying screws away from the work area to prevent damage.

Plastic Parts: Use care when handling plastic parts, as excessive force can cause damage. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the maintenance instructions.

Cables and Connectors: Handle cables with extreme care. Apply only the necessary tension to unseat or seat them. Handle them by the connector when possible and avoid bending, twisting, or tearing. Ensure cables are routed correctly during reassembly to prevent them from being caught or snagged.

Removable drives are fragile. To prevent damage to the notebook, the drive, or loss of information, observe these precautions:

Before removing or inserting a hard drive, shut down the notebook completely.

Before removing an optical drive, ensure no disc is in the drive and the tray is closed.

Discharge yourself of static electricity before handling a drive and avoid touching the connector.

Handle drives on surfaces covered with at least one inch of shock-proof foam.

Avoid dropping drives.

After removing a drive, place it in a static-proof bag.

Avoid exposing a hard drive to magnetic fields (e.g., from monitors or speakers).

Avoid exposing a drive to temperature extremes or liquids.

If mailing a drive, use a bubble pack mailer or other protective packaging and label it “FRAGILE: Handle With Care.”
