Internal Design
The motherboard PCA is the central component of the Omnibook’s design. It plays a role in virtually
all system functions. The CPU module and most other subsystems connect to the motherboard.
The following figure shows the connections among the Omnibook’s replaceable electronic modules.
In addition, the table on page 1-15 lists the roles that the replaceable modules play in each of the
Omnibook’s functional subsystems.

Reassembly steps are the reverse of the removal steps. Reassembly notes are included at the end
of each section below.
Symbols like this throughout this chapter show approximate full-size screw outlines. You can
