Changing the Module Backplane

Changing the Module Backplane

It is possible for you to change the backplane of the unit (swap modules).
This implies however that you must reinstall the software corresponding to
your new module, otherwise you will have a Software Mismatch message,
as seen in Software Mismatch Notification on page 38.

To change the module backplane:
1.
Turn the unit off (shutdown mode). Make sure that the unit is not in

suspend mode.

2. Open the battery compartment.

3. Loosen the module retaining screw located at the bottom of the

battery compartment. This is a captive screw; you cannot remove it
completely.
