1. Remove the bottom plate and battery

Before you start removing the bottom panel of this device, you need to remove the SIM card tray. Then, undo all 8 Phillips-head screws, and pry the panel with a plastic tool, starting from the front edges.


2. Battery

Battery-wise, there is a 68Wh unit that should be unplugged before you remove anything from the motherboard.


3. Мemory and storage

In terms of memory, you have two SODIMM slots, which fit up to 64GB of DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode. And if you have the laptop configured with a Xeon processor, you can take advantage of ECC RAM as well. Thankfully, there are two M.2 PCIe x4 slots for storage, which support the RAID technology.


4. Cooling system

Two heat pipes are cooling both the CPU and the GPU. Interestingly, Lenovo used only one heat spreader and one fan to deal with heat dissipation. Also, you can see that while the graphics memory is cooled by some metal shrouds, the VRMs are left to suffer.
