Hidden microSD Slot Access

microSD Slot Location

Early N4 & N4 Pro models had an externally accessible microSD slot (shown below)

• This slot is used for Klipper MCU firmware updates. It can't be used for .gcode file transfers

Later N4, N4 Pro & Plus/Max still have the slot although It's not readily accessible

• Disconnect the panel-mounted cooling fan, either from the mainboard or from the connector on the fan's wire.

• Continue the guide in the relevant sections below

• Remove all 4 screws that secure the mainboard
• Remove any cable management screws restricting the movement of the mainboard
