Reattaching the Front Door and Hinge Arms

To prevent damage to your computer, the front-panel door is designed to "break away" if it is lifted up too far. If the front-panel door is open and it is pushed inward too hard, the hinge arms may also break away (the hinge arms are loose when they are detached).

Reattaching the Hinge Arms

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions listed in "When Working Inside Your Computer" on page 12.

1Shut down the computer through the Start menu (see page 33).

2Disconnect the computer power cable from the electrical outlet.

3Remove the front-panel door by gently snapping it off the two hinge arms.

4Remove the front-panel insert above the door bay area by pulling the bottom of the insert with your fingers.
