8. Remove the audio jack shielding that covers the audio jacks on three sides. Note that the shielding wraps around and goes beneath the system board and the

EMI pan, not between the board and the pan.

9. Lift the audio jack board off of connectors J16 and J11 on the system board.

When you install the audio jack board, it is helpful to move the PC Card latches out of the way. Put pressure only on the areas where the connectors on the audio jack
board and on the system board fit together. Pressing on other areas may bend the board and break connections.
