Working on your computer
Safety instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to protect your computer from potential damage and to ensure your personal safety. Unless otherwise
noted, each procedure included in this document assumes that the following conditions exist:
• You have read the safety information that shipped with your computer.
• A component can be replaced or, if purchased separately, installed by performing the removal procedure in the reverse order.
WARNING: Disconnect all power sources before opening the computer cover or panels. After you finish working inside the
computer, replace all covers, panels, and screws before connecting to the power source.
WARNING: Before working inside your computer, read the safety information that shipped with your computer. For additional
safety best practices information, see the Regulatory Compliance Homepage at www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple
repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team.
Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions
that came with the product.
CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically touching an
unpainted metal surface that is grounded to ground yourself before you touch the computer to perform any disassembly tasks.
CAUTION: Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a card. Hold a card by its
edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a processor by its edges, not by its pins.
CAUTION: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its pull-tab, not on the cable itself. Some cables have
connectors with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before you disconnect the
cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a
cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
NOTE: The color of your computer and certain components may appear differently than shown in this document.
Before working inside your computer

To avoid damaging your computer, perform the following steps before you begin working inside the computer.

network device.
4 Disconnect all the network cables from the computer.
5 Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from the electrical outlets.
6 Press and hold the power button while the computer is unplugged to ground the system board.
7 Remove the cover.
CAUTION: Before touching anything inside your computer, ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface, such as
the metal at the back of the computer. While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to dissipate static
electricity, which could harm internal components.

Diagnostics
If you experience a problem with your computer, run the ePSA diagnostics before contacting Dell for technical assistance. The purpose of
running diagnostics is to test your computer's hardware without requiring additional equipment or risking data loss. If you are unable to fix
the problem yourself, service and support personnel can use the diagnostics results to help you solve the problem.
Topics:
• Enhanced Pre-Boot System Assessment ePSA diagnostics

• Device status lights
• Battery status lights
Enhanced Pre-Boot System Assessment ePSA

diagnostics
The ePSA diagnostics (also known as system diagnostics) performs a complete check of your hardware. The ePSA is embedded with the
BIOS and is launched by the BIOS internally. The embedded system diagnostics provides a set of options for particular devices or device
groups allowing you to:
• Run tests automatically or in an interactive mode

• Repeat tests
• Display or save test results
• Run thorough tests to introduce additional test options to provide extra information about the failed device(s)
• View status messages that inform you if tests are completed successfully
• View error messages that inform you of problems encountered during testing
CAUTION: Use the system diagnostics to test only your computer. Using this program with other computers may cause invalid
results or error messages.
NOTE: Some tests for specific devices require user interaction. Always ensure that you are present at the computer terminal
when the diagnostic tests are performed.
You can launch the ePSA diagnostics in two ways:
1 Power-on the computer.

2 As the computer boots, press the F12 key as the Dell logo appears.
3 On the boot menu screen, select the Diagnostics option.
The Enhanced Pre-boot System Assessment window displays, listing all devices detected in the computer. The diagnostics starts
running the tests on all the detected devices.
4 If you wish to run a diagnostic test on a specific device, press Esc and click Yes to stop the diagnostic test.
5 Select the device from the left pane and click Run Tests
6 If there are any issues, error codes are displayed.
Note the error code and contact Dell.
OR
1 Shutdown the computer.

The blinking patterns will consist of 2 set of numbers being represented by (First Group: Amber blinks, Second Group: White blinks)
Diagnostics 55
NOTE:
1 First Group: The LED blinks 1 to 9 times followed by a brief pause with LED off at the interval of 1.5 seconds.(This is in Amber
color)
2 Second Group: The LED blinks 1 to 9 times, that would be then followed by a longer pause before the next cycle starts again at
the interval of 1.5 seconds.(This is in White color)
For Example: No Memory detected (2,3), Battery LED blinks two times of amber color followed by a pause, and then blinks three times of
white color. The Battery LED will pause for 3 seconds before the next cycle repeat itself again.
