Before servicing ThinkPad, Removing the SIM card

Before servicing ThinkPad X301

Some models of the ThinkPad X301 you are servicing might have the SIM card that the customer has been installed.

If the computer you are servicing has the SIM card, remove it before you start the servicing.

To remove the SIM card, you need to remove the battery pack first. (See “1010

Battery pack” on page 83.)

After you finish the servicing, make sure that you insert the card back into the slot firmly.

Notice on disconnecting the cable from flip-lock ZIF connector:

Some cables used in the ThinkPad X301 are connected to the flip-lock ZIF connectors.

When disconnecting the cable from those connectors, do as shown in this figure.
