Reattaching the Front Door and Hinge
Arms
To prevent damage to your computer, the front-panel door is designed to
"break away" if it is lifted up too far. If the front-panel door is open and it is
pushed inward too hard, the hinge arms may also break away (the hinge
arms are loose when they are detached).
Reattaching the Hinge Arms

follow the safety instructions listed in "When Working Inside Your
Computer" on page 12.

arms.

bottom of the insert with your fingers.
