Opening the case
The case has two removable side panels. Both panels are screwless, meaning
you do not have to remove any screws to take off the panels.
The right panel is removed by pressing a button located on the front panel.
The L-shaped panel covers both the right side and top of the chassis and
provides access to most of the internal components of the system. The left
panel is removed by sliding a tab located on the top of the chassis.
Removingthesidepanels
To remove the right panel:
1 Because the components inside your computer are extremely sensitive to
static electricity, make sure to observe the “Static electricity precautions”
on page 17.
2 Turn off the computer, disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
