Reattaching the Front Door
To prevent damage to your computer, the front door is designed to "break away" if it is opened
too far. To reattach the front door:
1
Shut down the computer through the
Start
menu (see page 21).
2
Ensure that your computer and attached devices are turned off. If your computer and
attached devices did not automatically turn off when you shut down your computer, turn
them off now.
NOTICE: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer and then unplug it
from the network wall jack.
3
Disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer.
4
Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from their electrical outlets, and then
press the power button to ground the system board.
NOTE: The top hinge arm clicks when it is moved to the closed position—the bottom hinge arm does not.
5
Move the hinge arms to the closed position.
