Case Access 3

Opening the Case

To perform work in the internal components of the computer, you must

open the case, which has two removable parts:

•

A chassis cover, that surrounds the sides and top of the system

•

A front faceplate (bezel) that covers the front of the system

Because the components inside your computer are extremely sensitive to

static electricity, be sure to follow the precautions for avoiding static

electricity damage at the beginning of this chapter.

Turn off the computer and disconnect all power cords.

Remove the thumbscrew or lock on the back of the case.

Locate the latches at the rear sides of the case, and pull both latches

out until they clear the chassis.

To remove the chassis cover

Important!

Only qualified personnel

should open the system for

maintenance. You need a

grounding wrist strap and

the proper tools to remove

the computer’s cover.

Warning!

To avoid exposure to

dangerous electrical

voltages and moving parts,

turn off your computer and

unplug the power cord

before removing the system

cover.
