  • ESD-safe tweezers

  • Nylon probe (black stick)

  • Torx Plus 10IP 50 mm bit

Removal

  1. Use ESD-safe tweezers to peel off the bus bar insulator cover. Discard the bus bar insulator cover.

  2. Insert the 10IP bit into the 0.3–1.2 Nm adjustable torque driver.

  3. Use the adjustable torque driver and 10IP bit to remove the two 10IP screws (923-07097) from the power supply and bus bar.

  4. Use the adjustable torque driver and 10IP bit to remove the four 10IP screws (923-07096) from the power supply.

  5. Slightly tilt up the power supply. Pinch the end of the power supply signal cable. Pull the end of the power supply signal cable to slide it out of the connector. Then tilt down the power supply onto the internal frame.

  6. Rotate the computer so the back ports are facing you.

  7. Slightly tilt up the power supply. Pinch and hold the clip on the end of the power cord port cable (1). Then pull the end of the power cord port cable to slide it out of the connector (2).

  8. Lift the power supply off the internal frame and out of the housing.

Reassembly

  1. Position the power supply over the housing. Ensure that the power cord port connector and the power supply signal connector on the power supply are aligned with the power cord port cable and the power supply signal cable in the housing.

  2. Then lower the power supply onto the internal frame. Align the four notches on the power supply with the four screw mounts on the internal frame.

  3. Rotate the computer so the back ports are facing you. Slightly tilt up the power supply. Slide the end of the power cord port cable into the connector. Ensure that the clip is engaged. Then tilt down the power supply onto the internal frame.

  5. Ensure that the two pins on the bus bar are aligned with the two alignment holes in the power supply.

  6. Keep the 10IP bit in the 0.3–1.2 Nm adjustable torque driver. Ensure that the torque value is still set to 0.7 Nm.

  7. Use the adjustable torque driver and 10IP bit to reinstall the four 10IP screws (923-07096) into the power supply.

  8. Keep the 10IP bit in the 0.3–1.2 Nm adjustable torque driver. Set the torque value to 0.6 Nm.
