Removing the side cover
To remove the side cover, you might find it easier to lay the computer on its side. If
you do, move the stabilizing feet so that they do not break (see “Moving the
stabilizing feet” on page 10).
Complete the following steps to remove the side cover of the computer:
1. Review the “Installation guidelines” on page 15.
2. Turn off the computer and all attached devices (see “Turning off the computer”
on page 32); then, disconnect all power cords and external cables.
3. Pull the cover-release latch away from the computer, and push the side cover
toward the rear of the computer. Lift the side cover off the computer and set it
aside.

the computer. Operating the computer with the cover removed might damage
computer components.
