You will want a caddy because it makes it much easier to get a drive out, and because it spaces out the drive in the space provided and provides some (minimal) amount of shock protection.

It's a Core2 Duo SL9600 model and Intel's datasheet doesn't show any maximum memory for the processor. It's a Core2 Duo SL9600 model and Intel's datasheet doesn't show any maximum memory for the processor.

I probably got bad modules as they're a bit finnicky, but I've managed to get 6GB reported in the BIOS so far by mixing them with OEM memory. I probably got bad modules as they're a bit finnicky, but I've managed to get 6GB reported in the BIOS so far by mixing them with OEM memory.

Apparently for technical reasons the X200T must take 2Rx8 memory; two ranks of eight chips, and for 8GB memory, 256MB per chip (divide 8192MB by 2 modules * 2 ranks * 8 chips).

The seller sent me an image of the installed memory: a Hynix 4GB 2Rx8 PC3-10600S and a Dell P/N SNPX830DC/4G, both scavenged from other laptops. The seller sent me an image of the installed memory: a Hynix 4GB 2Rx8 PC3-10600S and a Dell P/N SNPX830DC/4G, both scavenged from other laptops.

<B>Do not</B> try to insert two-button Thinkpad styluses into the stylus holder of the X200T as they'll become stuck in there because of how the buttons are shaped. The Fujitsu T-5000 digitizer pen does work, identically according to <CODE>xev(1)</CODE>.

To remove a stuck stylus, reference the hardware maintenance manual.
Remove FRUs "1020 Battery pack" and "1060 Keyboard" and follow steps 6 and 7 of the removal process of FRU "1180 DC-in connector, fan, digitizer pen case, and pen switch assembly".
No other FRUs need to be removed, nor do any other steps of the removal process of FRU 1180 need to be followed.
