1 Computer tear down and packing guide Important Note Please Read First CITO needs to continue making updates to your computer in the weeks leading to the move. We would request that you do not shut off, and disconnect your computer until 1 Week before your move date. Otherwise, we will need to rebuild your computer consuming a large amount of your time and delaying the setup of others. If you will not be available to pack during the week of the move to GISB please inform your department administrator. A CITO representative will then take care of dismantling your machine at the appropriate time. Contents 1. Technical Reference a. Know Your Computer b. What is that thing? A Cable Guide 2.

2 Know Your Computer It s best to know what equipment we are going to be working with, and let you know what everything looks like. To start lets figure out what kind of computer, or tower, you are using: First, the Dell OptiPlex 755: Dell OptiPlex 790: 2

3 Dell OptiPlex 7010: Phones you will encounter: Polycom CX300 Polycom CX600 3

4 What is This Thing? A Cable Guide These are the cables you may encounter USB Where it connects on computer The cable Side that connects to computer Side that connects to other things Network Cable Audio Power Cable DVI VGA 4

5 Dongles: A dongle is simply another name for a cable adapter: DisplayPort Where it connects on computer The cable Side that connects to computer Side that connects to other things DMS - 59 Note: Not every cable or dongle listed here is guaranteed to be on your computer, so if you don t see it don t worry about it. 5

6 Disassembly and Packaging Now with all that out of the way, it s time for the tear down, and here is a basic outline of what we will be doing. Cable Guides Concerns With Cable Removal!!!Warning!!!: before we begin, there are some cables that cannot be pulled strait out without doing damage to the computer. When we get to them, in the following steps (Will state the specific steps once I have them), I will explain in detail what needs to be done. Image Network Cable Yes Yes Yes Display Port No Maybe Maybe DVI Maybe Maybe Maybe Video VGA Maybe Maybe Maybe DMS - 59 Maybe No No 6

look somewhat like a big USB connector: USB (Top) and DisplayPort

7 Key: Yes: Will have without question No: Definitely will not have this item Maybe: Computer may or may not have Note: DisplayPort can look somewhat like a big USB connector: USB (Top) and DisplayPort (Bottom) size comparison: How To Remove A Cable Click Here to go to Guide 7

8 Computer Tower Disassembly Shutting Down Your Computer Now we can being, and we will do that by shutting down your computer. To do this will require following one of the following sequences: Case 1 Case 2 1) Click button 2) Click button 3) Click button 1) Click button 2) Click button Waite a minute or 2 for the light on the power button to go out, than you can proceed. Things To Keep In Mind When Removing Cables 1) Cables should be pulled gently. Excessive force can cause hidden damage. 2) If a cable is stuck, follow it back until you find the source and then release it. i) As more cable are removed the problem should become less pronounced. 3) With USB cables: Check all peripherals for attached USB devices, especially monitors. Sometime we find it is easier to connect them to port built into the side and bottom of most monitors. 8

9 General Cable Detachment Strategy Try to get into a position where you can clearly see the back of the computer. The following angle is typical: You may have to crawl under the desk if that is where the computer is. Also you may pull the computer out some, but don t force it as this could damage equipment. The easiest way to remove the cables is to unplug them from top to bottom, as in the following sequence:

11 DisplayPort DMS 59 Images Pull Cable out Unscrew Clip Depress Same as phone cord Note: the highlighted methods are the ones that will result in damage to the machine if they are not followed. Pull Cable Out: You are safe to simply pull them straight out like you would with a plug in a wall. Back to cable chart. Unscrew: Unscrew both retention screws. Note there is one on either side of the cable. Most of the time a screw driver isn t needed. Pull connector off If it resists you go back and work with the retention screws again until it dose release. With DMS-59 leave it attached to the main video cable as in the following image: 11

Final note: Leave the dongle attached to the DVI cable as in the

12 Back to cable chart. Clip Depress: The problem: These connectors have a retention bucket built into them. The effect is somewhat like a barbed fish hook, and the damage it can do is similar to that of a fish hook pulled out the way it went in. Red: Tab Yellow/Orange: Barb Removal Process: Depress and hold the Tab down (keep holding though step 2) Pull the connector out Final note: Leave the dongle attached to the DVI cable as in the following images: Back to cable chart. Same As Phone Cord: Just like with a phone cord, depress the tab and pull away from the computer. The Red arrow is pointing to the tab that needs depressed. Back to cable chart. 12

13 Monitor Disassembly This applies to most any Dell monitor. Positioning The Monitor For Cable Detachment Cables will be connected to the monitor on the bottom back, and possibly the side as in the following image To help you remove everything you can simply rotate the screen in a clock wise direction: Front: back: 13

Here is what you will see from the back: (note I moved the cables out of the way for

as with the tower. Go back to the removal chart if you need it.

This is meant to just give you an idea as to what you might find.

14 Here is what you will see from the back: (note I moved the cables out of the way for clarity) Note: Only 1 of the 2 cables being pointed at with the arrows will be on your monitor. General Cable Detachment Strategy Go ahead and remove the cables in the same fashion as with the tower. Go back to the removal chart if you need it Not all cables seen here will be on your machine. This is meant to just give you an idea as to what you might find. Clear the cables away and rotate the screen back. Repeat this with any other monitors you may have. Collecting Computer Equipment For Packing Phones Check to see what phone you have and use the matching section. CX

15 This one will only need a USB cable removed. At this state it s likely to have been detached. Wrapping the cables around the phone before packing as in the following image is fine. CX 600 This setup is a bit more involved than the 300 series. In the following image I have the main cables and what we need. 15

This one has some minor cosmetic differences from the one in the reference chart.

16 1) This network cable will not go with the phone 2) This is the only network cable that will be kept. This one goes between the phone and your computer 3) Power cable 4) USB cable. This one has some minor cosmetic differences from the one in the reference chart. When done you should have the following to store: 1) CX600 phone 2) Power cable 3) USB cable 4) Network cable a. The only one that will ever be packed. Common (Yet Not Exclusive) List Of Items You Should Have When Complete 1) Keyboard 2) Mouse 3) Printer (Maybe) 4) Webcams (Maybe) 16

17 5) Ethernet Cable (only from CX600 phone) 6) Video Cables 7) USB Extension Cables (Maybe) 8) Power Cables Pack all of the above into a moving box if they will fit and label them appropriately. CITO will need to know what box contains your computer equipment when setting it up in its new home. 17

18 General Packing Instructions 1) Computer tower 2) Monitor 3) Printers a. If they don t fit in a box. 4) Anything else that won t fit in a box. Items Not Going In A Box Items That Will Go In A Box Put anything in a box that will fit in it. This includes all cables. Leave the network cable behind, unless it came from the CX600 phone.
