Using the alignment posts and rubber grommets, place the speakers into the slots on the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
NOTE: Ensure that the alignment posts are threaded through the rubber grommets on the speakers.
Route the speaker cable along the bottom side of the palm-rest and keyboard assembly, over the WLAN antenna cables. Then secure the speaker cable into the routing guides on the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
NOTE: The speaker cable must be routed through the routing guides to avoid damaging the speaker cable when installing the base cover.
Connect the speaker cable to the connector on the system board.
