Opening the case

To work on 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 chassis

■

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

Because the components inside your computer are extremely sensitive to static

electricity, make sure to observe the precautions (see “Static electricity

precautions” on page 15) to avoid static electricity damage.

To remove the chassis cover:

1 Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if

installed), and all external peripheral devices.

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

3 With the front of the computer facing you, locate the latches at the rear

sides of the case and pull both latches out until they clear the chassis.)

Warning Avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and

moving parts by turning off your computer and unplugging

the power cord and modem cable (if installed) before

removing the chassis cover.
