Replacing the Computer Cover

1Ensure that all cables are connected, and fold cables out of the way. Also, ensure that

cables are not routed over the drive cage—they can prevent the cover from closing

properly.

2Ensure that no tools or extra parts are left inside the computer.

3Place the cover on the computer.

4Slide the cover towards the front of the computer until it fits completely into place.

5If your computer has a computer cover thumbscrew, tighten the thumbscrew.

NOTICE: To connect a network cable, first plug the cable into the network wall jack and then

plug it into the computer.

6Connect your computer and devices to electrical outlets and turn them on.
