ABSTRACT:
A computer subassembly aspect is disclosed comprising a case defining an interior, a primary circuit board located in the interior of the case, and a BIOS chip socket mounted on the primary circuit board. The case has an opening formed therein that is aligned with a position of the BIOS chip socket on the primary circuit board to permit insertion of a BIOS chip into the BIOS chip socket through the opening. A method of assembling a computer is also disclosed that comprises assembling a subassembly of a laptop computer in a first location, with the subassembly including a BIOS chip socket for receiving a BIOS chip but lacking a BIOS chip, transporting the subassembly from the first location to a second location, and installing a BIOS chip into the BIOS chip socket of the subassembly when the subassembly is in the second location.
