2.1 Setting Up
When working in your case, please keep the following in mind:

Put the case upright on a flat, stable surface so that the rear panel (power supply and expansion
slots) is facing you.

Handle all components and cards with care.

To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself periodically by touching an unpainted metal
surface or by using a wrist grounding strap.

Before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly aligned and oriented.

Do not sit on your chassis. Although it is constructed of heavy-duty steel and internally
reinforced, it is not designed to support the weight of an adult, and may buckle.

Do not use your fingernails to separate edges or lift the sides of the chassis, as paint chipping or
injury may occur.

Place the panel thumbscrews aside in a safe place.
2.2 Removing the Side Panels and Front Bezel
To remove the left and right side panels:
1. Remove each of the two thumbscrews first.
2. Remove the panel by gripping the tab at the rear of the panel
and pull it backward slightly, then swing the panel outward.
3. Exercise caution and control when handling chassis interiors.
We strongly recommend taking the appropriate time and care
when working inside the chassis. Avoid hurried or careless
motions.
You need to remove the front bezel in order to access the air filters and
conduct maintenance.
To remove the front bezel:
1. Remove the left side panel as described above.
2. Locate and depress the three tabs on the inside of the front
panel.
3. Swing the panel outward until it comes away completely.
