Assembly Procedure
After the computer has been disassembled and the part that caused the fault has been repaired
or replaced, the computer must be reassembled.
Take note of the following general points when assembling the computer.
•
Take your time and follow the instructions carefully. Hurrying the assembly work
will only introduce new problems.
•
Check that all cables and connectors are securely connected.
•
Before fastening FRUs or other parts in place, ensure that no cables are caught on
screws or the FRU.
