Removing the Device Security Screw
If the device security screw is installed, you must remove the screw to remove the module from the bay:
1. Save and close any open files, exit any open programs, and shut down the computer.
2. If the computer is connected to a docking device (docked), undock it. See the documentation that came with your docking device for instructions.
3. Close the display and turn the computer over.
4. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the device security screw from the bottom of the computer.
