Screw list

NOTE:

When removing screws from a component, it is recommended to note the screw type, the quantity of screws, and

then place them in a screw storage box. This is to ensure that the correct number of screws and correct screw type is
restored when the component is replaced.

NOTE:

Some computers have magnetic surfaces. Ensure that the screws are not left attached to such surfaces when

replacing a component.

NOTE:

Screw color may vary with the configuration ordered.
