Removing the side cover
To remove the side cover, you might find it easier to lay the computer on its side.
To remove the side cover, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 73.
2. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.
3. Disconnect all external cables and power cords.
4. Press the cover-release button on the side of the computer, and push the side
cover toward the rear of the computer (see Figure 10). Lift the side cover off the
computer and set it aside.
Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, install the cover before turning on the
computer. Operating the computer with the cover removed might damage computer
components.
