Replacing the Cover
When you are ready to replace the computer’s cover, refer to
the illustrations above and follow these steps:
1.
Make sure all the internal components are installed properly.
2.
Check all cable connections, especially those that might have
been loosened during your work. Make sure all cables are
out of the way so they do not catch on the cover.
3.
For the slimline computer, insert the lip at the front of the
cover between the front bezel and the computer case and
guide the cover straight down.
For the tower computer, squeeze the sides in and slide the
cover forward until the lip at the front of the cover slides
between the front bezel and the computer case.
4.
Replace the retaining screws.
5.
Reconnect the computer to the monitor, printer, keyboard,
and any other peripheral devices you have. Then reconnect
the power cable to the back of the computer and to an
electrical outlet.
