Front of Computer
To replace the computer cover, perform the following steps:
1. Check all cable connections, especially those that might have come loose during your work. Fold
cables out of the way so that they do not catch on the computer cover. Make sure cables are not
routed over the drive cage—they will prevent the cover from closing properly.
2. Check to see that no tools or extra parts (including screws) are left inside the computer's chassis.
3. Replace the computer cover as follows:
a. Face the front of the computer and hold the cover at a slight angle as shown in
Figure 2
.
b. Align the bottom of the cover with the bottom of the chassis, and insert the three hooks on the
cover into the three recessed slots on the computer chassis so that the tabs catch the hooks
inside the slots.
NOTE: The three hooks on the cover are located in the front at the bottom. The three
recessed slots on the computer chassis are located in the front at the bottom (see
Figure
2
).
c. Pivot the cover down toward the back of the chassis and into position. Press down on the back
corners of the cover until the securing buttons click into place.
