bilities. This chapter prepares you to install options inside the computer. It describes
how to remove and replace the computer cover and rotate the power supply away
from the system board. It also familiarizes you with the internal components you may
handle if you install Dell hardware options.

system correctly.
You will use the information in this section every time you install a hardware option
inside your computer.
