NOTICE: To avoid inadvertently damaging the system board, be sure you that disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet, disconnect the power cable from the back of the computer, and press the power button before removing the computer cover.

2.Lift the cover out from the curved hinge at the bottom of the computer.

CAUTION: Keep your hands clear of the metal edges on the computer frame and fan guard as you slide the cover back.

To replace the computer cover:

1.Rotate the power supply back into place.

2.Check all cable connections, especially those that might have come loose during your work. Fold cables and unused connectors out of the way so that they do not catch on the computer cover or interfere with airflow inside the computer.

3.Check to see that no tools or extra parts (including screws) are left inside the computer.

4.Place the computer upright with the front facing you. Align the computer cover so its bottom hooks fit in the computer’s curved hinge.

5.Lift up the cover, making sure to keep the bottom hooks aligned with the curves in the computer.
