Removing the Keyboard

The keyboard is removable to allow access to the internal components and expansion connectors inside the computer. The keyboard is held in place by a locking screw and two latches.

The keyboard locking screw is a slotted screw that is part of the Num Lock LED, which is located between the F4 and F5 function keys. The computer is shipped with the locking screw in the unlocked position. If the locking screw is in the locked position, turning the screw 180° unlocks the keyboard.

The two latches are between the ESC key and the F1 key and between the F8 and F9 keys. The user can release the latches by pulling them toward the front of the computer.
