In my case the red screw was on the lower left side near the power-data cable!

No need to remove the thermal sensor connector from the motherboard - refer to Step 17 to remove the sensor from the optical drive instead

The thermal sensor connector shown in the red box is the one for the hard drive, not the optical drive. The optical drive sensor attaches to motherboard near bottom left of optical drive fan.

The guide was correct in my case that this is the Optical Drive sensor. The board has “ODD Temp” written on it. Original HD has it’s own built in temperature sensor without a separate cable to the Motherboard, which is why OWC sells a special “In-line Thermal Sensor” SATA cable with a Temp. sensor that attaches to any new hard drive itself.

When I was removing the optical drive cable sensor the connector came loose from the board. Is there any way to repair this?

Paso 3

Levanta el borde interior de la unidad óptica y maniobra su conector más allá del marco de la GPU conectado a la placa lógica.
Retira con cuidado la unidad óptica de sus clavijas de montaje en el lado derecho de la carcasa exterior para tener espacio para desconectar el cable de la unidad óptica.
Deja que la unidad óptica cuelgue mientras desvías el conector del sensor térmico de la unidad óptica de detrás del disipador de calor de la GPU.

On the reassembly, I found threading the optical drive cable back under the GPU frame trying. Here’s some advice: Take some dental floss, form a loop, and feed that loop under the GPU frame. Put the cable into the loop of floss, tighten the loop, and pull the loop back through. This is much easier, faster, and far less frustrating.

Retira la unidad óptica del iMac.

I have already installed the second SSD drive, but due to the size of the drive I need to change it with another SSHD 1 TB drive. Am I right that I have to follow the instructions up to Step 18? Because The SSD is already behind the optical drive, so what I need to do is remove it and install the new SSHD drive and put everything back again. Please confirm.

This was my only error on reassembly. The SATA cable must be under the black plastic prong. I did not want to pull to logic board again. I managed to bend the black plastic bits and get the cable in the right place.
