Screw Identification

Before removing and replacing components, photocopy the screw placemat as a tool to lay out and keep track of the screws. The placemat provides the
number of screws and the sizes.
NOTICE: When reinstalling a screw, you must use a screw of the correct diameter and length. Make sure that the screw is properly aligned with its
corresponding hole, and avoid over tightening.
