new A51 hard disk drive assembly must also be installed. Refer to “Removing and
Replacing the A51 Hard Disk Drive (HDDA)” on page 7-48 .
If the N5241/42A already had a 2.0 GHz CPU board installed, remove the A51 hard disk
drive assembly from the old CPU board and install it in the new CPU board. Refer to
“Removing and Replacing the A51 Hard Disk Drive (HDDA)” on page 7-48 .
Replacement Procedure
