The method for installing these may very depending upon the manufacturer and style of light tubes installed, but those presented here tend to be a very common method. Be sure to read any instructions provided by the manufacturer of the light kits for any possible variations in the installation method.
Before beginning the installation at all, it is necessary to power down the computer. To safely do this, shut down the computer from the operating system. Once the computer has powered down, flip the power switch on the back of the computer to remove active power to the internal components.
