2.Check to see that no tools or extra parts (includ- ing screws) are left inside the computer.

3.Fit the cover over the chassis about 1 inch back of the closed position; then lower the cover straight down and slide it closed.

The tabs located at the bottom, sides, and top of the front of the cover must slide inside the forms of the chassis to ensure a good electromagnetic interfer- ence (EMI) seal.

4.Install and tighten the four cover-mounting screws on the back of the chassis.

Reinstall the special keylock screw in place of one of the cover-mounting screws if you wish to prevent unauthorized access to the interior of the computer.
