Accessing system board components and drives

To access system board components and the drives:

1. Open the computer cover. See “Opening the cover” on page 12.
2. On some models, you might need to pivot the drive-bay assembly upward and
pivot the hard disk drive upward to access the internal components, see
Figure 6.

Note: Make sure you note the location of any cables that you disconnect from

the drives or the system board.

Attention: Yo u must return the hard disk drive assembly to the latched
position before you close the cover to prevent damage to the hard disk drive

assembly.
