Replacing the bottom cover
Replace the bottom cover after accessing the memory module slot, hard drive, regulatory label, and
other components.
To replace the bottom cover:
1. Tilt the bottom cover down to align the front edge of the bottom cover near the front edge of the
computer (1).
2. Insert the alignment tabs (2) on the rear edge of the bottom cover with the notches on the
computer.
3. Slide the bottom cover towards the battery bay until the bottom cover snaps into place.
4. With the battery bay toward you, slide the bottom cover release latch to the left (3), and if you
choose to, insert and tighten the optional screw (4) to hold the bottom cover in place. Slide the
release latch to the right to lock the bottom cover (5).
NOTE: If you want to use the optional screw, it is stored inside the bottom cover.
