NOTE:

  Do not remove the 5 1/4-inch blank

panel when installing a hard disk drive.

 

The 3 1/2-inch hard disk drives must be mounted
in a 5 1/4-inch bracket.

Minitower Blank Panel Removal

Remove the front panel assembly from the minitower chassis as follows.

1. 

Remove the minitower cover as previously described.

2. 

Remove the four screws holding the front panel to the system; two screws on
each side(see Figure Section 3-34).

 Figure Section 3-34   Removing the Front Panel Screws

 

NOTE:

  If installing a hard disk in the 5 1/4-inch

slot, do not remove the slot cover. Otherwise
store the slot cover for reuse if the device is
removed.

3. 

Release the blank panel tabs and remove the blank panel from the metal cover
plate (see Figure Section 3-36).
