4 Replacement Procedures 4.1 Overview

Screw Tightening Torque

When you fasten screws, be sure to follow the torque list below.

CAUTION: Overtightening can damage components and screws; undertightening can result in electrical shorts or other damage if screws or components come loose.

NOTE: Toshiba recommends that you use an electric screw driver for quick and easy operations.

• M2 (2mm) 0.167 N·m (1.7 kgf·cm)

•M2.5 (2.5mm) 0.294 N·m (3.0 kgf·cm)

• M3 (3mm) 0.294 N·m (3.0 kgf·cm) (When, securing the HDD and HDD holder. See p.4-26)

NOTE: To prevent damage to THIN HEAD screws, use type 0 bit philips screwdriver. Press along the axis of the screwdriver while turning the screw. This is because the contact area between the screw and driver is less than for a pan head screw (standard pan-shaped screw head).
