Information on the installation and removal of components
These instructions provide information on disassembling the device in addition to upgrading or exchanging components.
The steps in these instructions describe the removal of a component. Installation is carried out in the reverse order.
Specifics are separately described after the removal.
Please pay attention to the locking mechanism (indentations and centring pins) when installing hardware components.
Note that some components on the mainboard may be very hot if the device was in use shortly before the case was removed.
Utmost care is required during installation and removal to avoid damaging components.
Use a non-slip base.
Never use items with sharp edges (screwdrivers) to lever them out.
Parts with Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD) can be identified by a corresponding label.
When dealing with boards with ESDs, the following points must always be observed:
