Removing and Replacing the Front Chassis Panels
Step 6 While holding the panel in place, place one palm against the top front center of the panel to brace it, and place the other against the lip near the bottom edge of the frame. (See Figure 7d.)
Step 7 Push the panel upward and back into the chassis opening until the tabs on the front sides of the panel are flush against the front of the chassis. (See Figure 7e.) You will have to use significant force to compress the EMI shielding enough to fit into the opening. If the panel resists, pull it slightly downward and make sure that the panel is lined up with the top and sides of the opening in the chassis.
Step 8 When the tabs on the front sides of the panel are flush against the sides of the chassis, tighten the two captive screws in the bottom edge of the frame.
Step 9 To replace the bottom front panel, place the ball studs on the back of the panel over the holes in the front lip of the chassis and push the panel onto the chassis until the ball studs snap into place.
This completes the chassis front panel removal and replacement procedures.
