Removing an access slot cover
Some option cards, such as your video monitor card, have an outlet for
connecting an external device. If you install an option card that has an exter-
nal connector for other equipment, (your video monitor, for example), you
need to remove the metal access slot cover on the computer’s back panel that
corresponds to the option card slot. Follow these steps:
1.
Hold the back panel of the computer with the inside facing you. The
individual access slot covers are held in position by a tab at the bottom
and a clip at the top.
2.
Remove the appropriate cover by pushing down on the clip and pushing
out. See Figure 3-5. Save the cover in case you need to remove the
option card.
