 When removing a Baseboard always **work very carefully** and **do not bend** the baseboards **nor use greater force** to get them into place. When removing a Baseboard always **work very carefully** and **do not bend** the baseboards **nor use greater force** to get them into place.
-Pay attention to the Newtork cables that are located right under the baseboards. They or the baseboards can be damaged if not handeled with care. Check if they are still properly fixed to the case and don't stack over each other more than 2mm.\\+Pay attention to the newtork cables that are located right under the baseboards.

-The baseboard can be replaced when the Apalis modules are plugged in. And it is not recommended to remove the plasic module-holders. If an Apals-holder is broken try to fix it with superglue **without removing** it from the baseboard.\\+The baseboard can be replaced when the Apalis modules are plugged in.

 Remove the four M3 screws (marked red) with a T10 Torx screwdriver. It can be handy to use a T9 Torx screwdriver for the screw in the top right on the picture below, when the Apalis modules are still in place.\\ Remove the four M3 screws (marked red) with a T10 Torx screwdriver.
