Before removing any FRU or CRU, shut down the computer and unplug all power cords from 
electrical outlets.

Attention:

After replacing a FRU, do not turn on the computer until you have ensured that all screws, 

springs, and other small parts are in place and none are loose inside the computer. Verify this by shaking the 
computer gently and listening for rattling sounds. Metallic parts or metal flakes can cause electrical short 
circuits.

The system board is sensitive to and can be damaged by ESD. Before touching it, establish 

personal grounding by touching a ground point with one hand or by using an ESD strap (P/N 6405959).

Remove the lower case

Make sure the computer has been shut down before servicing the computer.

Step 1.  Place the computer upside down on a flat surface.

Step 2.  Remove eight screws.
