Working Inside Your Computer 5-3
Disengage the plastic hooks that secure the cover to
the front of the chassis, and lift the cover away.

eplacing the Computer Cover
Use the following procedure to replace the computer
cover:
1. Check all cable connections, especially those that
might have come loose during your work. Fold
cables out of the way so that they do not catch on
the computer cover. Make sure cables are not
routed over the drive cage—they will prevent the
cover from closing properly.
2. Check to see that no tools or extra parts (includ-
ing screws) are left inside the computer’s chassis.
3. Replace the cover.
From the front of the computer, hold the cover at
about a 45-degree angle as shown in Figure 5-4. Set
the bottom front of the cover on top of the plastic
“ledge” that runs along the bottom front of the chas-
sis, and fit the four hooks along the bottom of the
cover into the rectangular slots along the bottom
front of the chassis. (It may be helpful to look down
into the chassis to verify that the hooks are in place.)
Pivot the cover down toward the back and into posi-
tion. Make sure the securing buttons click into place.
NOTE: The computer should be placed fully on a
flat surface. It is difficult to align the cover if the
front of the computer is hanging over the edge of a
table.
