2.1.2 Opening the top cover (front half)

To open the top cover:

1.Push the two sliding locks on the top cover to release the front half of the top cover.

2.With both hands, flip up the front corners of the top cover then lift the front half.

The front corners of the cover have dents that match those on the chassis. These dents provide a holding mechanism and keeps the cover in place even when the sliding locks are released.

Matching dents

If you wish to access the hot-swappable system fans, backplanes, optical drive, and floppy drive, you only need to open the front half of the top cover.
