Follow standard ESD precautions (see
) when handling the motherboard. Avoid using
excessive force and always place the motherboard on a grounded, non-metallic, static-free
surface. Never allow any metal to touch the solder contacts on the underside of the
motherboard, especially beneath the battery socket. Improper handling can short-circuit and
permanently damage the motherboard.
1. Remove the nine mounting screws that secure the motherboard to the motherboard tray
(see
).
2. Remove both CPU cooling assemblies from the motherboard (see
Each CPU cooling assembly is secured by four screws that attach to posts in the motherboard
tray.
To avoid flexing and possibly damaging the motherboard during removal of the cooling
assemblies, always remove the nine motherboard screws first. Doing so minimizes tension on
the motherboard as the cooling assemblies are removed.
