Removing the Cover
To access any internal components, you need to remove the
computer’s cover. Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the computer and then any peripheral devices
(including the monitor and printer).
2. Disconnect the computer’s power cable from the
electrical outlet and from the back panel. Then
disconnect any cables that are connected to the
computer, including the keyboard cable.
3.
If the monitor is on top of the computer, lift it off and set
it to one side.
4. Turn the computer around so you are facing the back
panel. The cover is secured by a large screw on the back
panel, as shown below. Turn the screw counterclockwise
to unlock the cover.
