Re-assemble in reverse order. Hard disk connects by sliding-in the service-door.
Service bay
The service-bay provides easy access to hard-disk, RAM, and mini-PCIe sockets incl. WLAN module.
Hard disk is 2.5” 7mm/9.5mm SATA. It is screwed to service door by 4 screws, 2 on each side. It is
recommended to use 5400 RPM hard disk or SSD. 7200 RPM or higher is not recommended due to higher
power consumption and risk of overheating.
RAM –use up to DDR3/DDR3L -1600 SO-DIMM modules (1.5V/1.35V), or up to DDR3U-1333 SO-DIMM
modules (1.25V).
Mini-PCIe –the half-size mini-PCIe is normally used for WLAN. If you remove the WLAN module make sure
