Installing or replacing hardware
This section provides instructions on how to install or replace hardware for your
computer. You can maintain your computer or expand the capabilities of your
computer by installing or replacing hardware.
Notes:
1. Use only computer parts provided by Lenovo.
2. When installing or replacing an option, use the appropriate instructions in this
section along with the instructions that come with the option.
Installing external options
You can install external options to your computer, such as external speakers, a
printer, or a scanner. For some external options, you must install additional
software in addition to making the physical connection. When you install an
external option, see “Locating computer connectors and parts” on page 6 to
identify the required connector. Then, use the instructions that come with the
option to help you make the connection and install any software or device drivers
that are required for the option.
Installing a computer wall mount
Your computer supports UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certified 100 mm × 100
mm (3.94 inches × 3.94 inches) wall mounts. For proper mounting, use four screws
of the following specifications:
Diameter × Pitch × Length: 4 mm × 0.7 mm × 10 mm (0.16 inch × 0.03 inch × 0.39
inch)
Note: When installing a computer wall mount, make sure that you leave at least a
60 mm (2.36 inches) space between the wall and your computer for easy
access to the connectors on the rear of your computer.
