Installing the system board

Steps

1. Install the system board in the computer [1] and install the five (M2x3) screws securing it to the computer.

NOTE:

 After removing all brackets and disconnecting all cables, there are five screws that secure the system board to

the palmrest. One of the screw is covered by the Real Time Clock (RTC) battery. Technicians must first peel the RTC
battery off the system board in order to access all the screws for the system board.
