Replacing the Computer Cover

Use the following procedure to replace the computer cover:

1.Check all cable connections, especially those that might have come loose during your work. Fold cables out of the way so that they do not catch on the computer cover. Make sure cables are not routed over the drive cage—they will prevent the cover from closing properly.

2.Check to see that no tools or extra parts (including screws) are left inside the computer's chassis.

3.Replace the cover.

Face the front of the computer and hold the cover at a slight angle as shown in Figure 3. While aligning the back of the cover with the chassis, insert the cover hooks into the rectangular slots on the chassis. (It may be helpful to look down into the chassis to verify that the hooks are in place.)

Pivot the cover down toward the back and into position. With both hands, press against the top edge of the cover to make sure that the securing buttons click into place.

5.If you are using a padlock to secure your system, reinstall the padlock.
