Screw Tightening Torque
Use the following torque when tightening screws.
Caution: Overtightening may damage screws or parts. Undertightening may allow
screws to loosen (and possibly fall out) causing a short circuit or other
damage.
Note: To tighten screws quickly and accurately, an electric screwdriver is
recommended.
? M2 (2mm) 0.167 N?m (1.7 kgf ?cm)
? M2.5 (2.5mm) 0.294 N?m(3.0 kgf?cm)
? M3 (3mm) 0.549 N?m(5.6 kgf?cm)
Note: To prevent damage to THIN HEAD screws, use type 0 pit philips screwdriver.
Use, however, the PH point size “1” screwdriver for screws fixing the expansion
memory slot cover and the keyboard.. Press along the axis of the screwdriver
while turning the screw. This is because the contact area between the screw and
driver is less than for a pan head screw (standard pan-shaped screw head).
Grip Color
Some screws have a colored grip area to help you determine the length of the screw.
? Even numbered length screws: Brown
? Odd numbered length screws: White
? Special length screw: Blue
“Special length screw” means screws whose length is indicated in an integral number to
the first decimal places such as 2.5 mm, 2.6 mm and so on.
