[title] Remove the inner plate screws
+[* icon_note] Throughout this repair, [product|IF145-491|keep track of each screw|new_window=true] and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from.
+[* icon_note] While the Mac mini uses [link|https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torx#Torx_Plus|Torx Plus|new_window=true] screws, standard Torx bits work. Make sure to apply constant, downward force to prevent stripping.
[* black] Use a T5 Torx screwdriver to remove the twelve screws securing the inner plate:
[* red] Eight 3.4 mm‑long screws
[* orange] Four 2.4 mm‑long screws
