Remove the bottom cover by removing eight screws from the bottom cover. You can remove the bottom cover.

Because it uses a built-in battery, so the bottom cover made of a piece of aluminum-magnesium alloy, there are a large number of cooling holes on the bottom cover. The vents are covered with a layer of dust gauze.

When the bottom cover was removed, you can get access to the battery, SSD, RAM, wireless card, CMOS battery, speaker, heat sink and cooling fan.
The WWAN slot is unoccupied. If you want to add NVMe SSD on the slot, you’ll very disappoint. The slot does not support booting only as a data disk.

Latitude E7470 comes with a 4-cell, 55Wh Li-ion battery. Dell part number: J60J5.

The laptop features a 128GB SATA3 M.2 SSD. I have replaced it with a Samsung MZ-VPV5120 SM951 512GB NVMe SSD.

This is AS SSD Benchmark test information.
