OWC Data Doubler Installation
71
2.2.9 Mid-2010 17” MacBook Pro (6,1) and 2011 17” MacBook Pro (8,3)
IMPORTANT: be sure that your laptop is fully shut down and disconnected
from all cables, including the power cable.
1. Remove the 10 Phillips screws that secure the bottom cover to the chassis.
Note: This section will show the MacBook Pro 6,1 installation process.
Note: the three right-most screws along the top edge (shown in yellow)
are longer than the rest; install them in the same screw holes at the end of
the process. The rest can be used interchangeably in the remaining screw
holes.
2. Place your ngers along the bottom cover, near the black vent underneath
the screen, then lift to release the bottom cover. There are two snap clips
holding the cover in place; they will release when you lift the cover. Set the
cover aside. The optical drive is indicated below by the white arrow; it needs
to be removed. Recommended: before moving to the next step, gently pull
the plastic tab attached to the battery connector (shown in yellow) and
dislodge it from the logic board.
