Preparation

Save your work and shut the computer down through the operating system, unplug AC power and every external device, and work on a clean, grounded, ESD-protected surface while sorting each screw by its original location. Handle every cable by its connector and put each one back in its own place during reassembly.

Replacement

  1. Take out the Phillips M2.0×3.0 screw that holds the drive to the system board. (printed page 41).
  2. Take out the drive by pulling it away from the plug. (printed page 42).
  3. Fit the replacement part by working back through the printed removal steps (printed page 42).
