Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before you disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

Card Types
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.
NOTE: A PC Card is not a bootable device.
The PC Card slot has one connector that supports a single Type I or Type II card. The PC Card slot supports CardBus technology and extended PC Cards. "Type" of card refers to its thickness, not its functionality.
The ExpressCard slot has one connector that supports 54-mm cards. The slot also supports adapters for 34-mm cards.
Card Blanks
Your computer shipped with a plastic blank installed in the card slots. Blanks protect unused slots from dust and other particles. Save the blank for use when no PC Card is installed in the slot; blanks from other computers may not fit your computer.
To remove the blank, see Removing a Card or Blank.
Extended Cards
An extended card (for example, a wireless network adapter) is longer than a standard card and extends outside the computer. Follow these precautions when using extended PC or ExpressCards:
•Protect the exposed end of an installed card. Striking the end of the card can damage the system board.
•Always remove an extended card before you pack the computer in its carrying case.
Installing a PC Card or ExpressCard
You can install a PC Card or ExpressCard in the computer while the computer is running. The computer automatically detects the card.
Cards are generally marked with a symbol (such as a triangle or an arrow) to indicate which end to insert into the slot. The cards are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. If card orientation is not clear, see the documentation that came with the card.
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.
PC Card
1.Hold the card with its orientation symbol pointing into the slot and the top side of the card facing up. The latch may need to be in the "in" position before you insert the card.
2.Slide the card into the slot until the card is completely seated in its connector.
If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card. Check the card orientation and try again.
The computer recognizes most cards and automatically loads the appropriate device driver. If the configuration program tells you to load the manufacturer's drivers, use the floppy disk or CD that came with the PC Card.
ExpressCard
1.Hold the card with its orientation symbol pointing into the slot and the top side of the card facing up. The latch may need to be in the "in" position before you insert the card.
2.Slide the card into the slot until the card is completely seated in its connector.
If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card. Check the card orientation and try again.
The computer recognizes most cards and automatically loads the appropriate device driver. If the configuration program tells you to load the manufacturer's drivers, use the floppy disk or CD that came with the card.
If you have an adapter, such as the one shown below, you can use 34-mm ExpressCards in the PC Card slot. For information about using the PC Card slot, see PC Card.
Removing a Card or Blank
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in your Product Information Guide.
NOTICE: Click the 
icon (in the taskbar) to select a card and stop it from functioning before you remove it from the computer. If you do not stop the card in the configuration utility, you could lose data. Do not attempt to eject a card by pulling its cable, if one is attached.
Press the latch and remove the card or blank. For some latches, you must press the latch twice: once to pop the latch out, and then a second time to pop the card out.

Removing the Processor Module
CAUTION: Before performing the following procedures, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.
NOTICE: To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically touching a connector on the back panel of the computer.
NOTICE: Press and hold the processor down by applying slight pressure to the center of the processor while turning the cam screw to prevent intermittent contact between the cam screw and processor.
NOTICE: To avoid damage to the processor, hold the screwdriver so that it is perpendicular to the processor when turning the cam screw.
1.Follow the procedures in Before You Begin.
2.Remove the hinge cover (see Hinge Cover).
3.Remove the keyboard (see Keyboard).
4.Remove the display assembly (see Display Assembly).
5.Remove the palm rest (see Palm Rest).
6.Remove the processor thermal-cooling assembly (see Processor Thermal-Cooling Assembly).
NOTICE: When removing the processor module, pull the module straight up. Be careful not to bend the pins on the processor module.
7.To loosen the ZIF socket, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver and rotate the ZIF-socket cam screw counterclockwise until it comes to the cam stop.
The ZIF-socket cam screw secures the processor to the system board. Take note of the arrow on the ZIF-socket cam screw.

8. Use a processor extraction tool to remove the processor module.
Installing the Processor Module
NOTICE: Ensure that the cam lock is in the fully open position before seating the processor module. Seating the processor module properly in the ZIF socket does not require force.
NOTICE: A processor module that is not properly seated can result in an intermittent connection or permanent damage to the processor and ZIF socket.
1.Align the pin-1 corner of the processor module so that it points to the triangle on the ZIF socket, and insert the processor module into the ZIF socket.
When the processor module is correctly seated, all four corners are aligned at the same height. If one or more corners of the module are higher than the others, the module is not seated correctly.
NOTICE: Hold the processor down while turning the cam screw to prevent intermittent contact between the cam screw and processor.
2. Tighten the ZIF socket by turning the cam screw clockwise to secure the processor module to the system board.
NOTE: If a new microprocessor is installed, you will receive one of the following: a new thermal-cooling assembly which will include an affixed thermal pad, or a new thermal pad along with a tech sheet to illustrate proper installation.
3.Replace the processor thermal-cooling assembly (see Processor Thermal-Cooling Assembly).
4.Update the BIOS using a flash BIOS-update program CD (see Flashing the BIOS From a CD).
