To replace the mini tower computer cover, perform the following steps:

  

1. Face the left side of the computer and hold the cover at a slight angle as shown in 

Figure 4

. While aligning the top of the cover with the top of 

the chassis, insert the hooks on the cover into the three recessed slots on the computer chassis. 
 

2. Pivot the cover down toward the bottom of the chassis and into position. With both hands, press against the bottom edge of the cover to 

make sure that the securing hooks at the bottom of the cover click into place (see
