The computer is enclosed by a front bezel and a left- and right-side cover. To trouble-
shoot problems inside the computer, you may need to remove the front bezel and one
or both of the side covers. To access the hard-disk drives, you must remove the front
bezel. Removal of the right-side computer cover allows access to the system board,
SCSI backplane board, and external SCSI devices. Removal of the left-side computer
cover permits access to the diskette-drive interface cable.
