Removing the Side Panel
To install optional equipment, you must remove the side panel
and front bezel to gain access to the expansion slots or drive
bays you want to use.
CAUTION:
Before removing the computer side panel, ensure that
the computer is turned off and that the power cord is disconnected
from the electrical outlet.
To remove the computer side panel, complete the following
steps:
1. If you have locked the Smart Cover Lock, use Computer
Setup to unlock the lock.
For more information about Computer Setup, refer to
Chapter 8, “Using Compaq Utilities.”
2. Turn off the computer and any external devices.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
4. Facing the back of the computer, loosen the three
thumbscrews on the side panel. Use a coin to loosen them
if they're too tight to loosen by hand.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot
surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before
touching.
