5.2 Opening and closing the housing
CAUTION! Only qualified personnel should open the PC. Tampering with the unit will result in a loss of the right to guarantee claims and the discontinuation of the manufacturer’s guarantee obligation. Compliance with the harmonised standards according to the legislation regarding electromagnetic compatibility of units and compliance with the low voltage directive may be interfered with.
•When opening the PC it must be ensured that you do not use any force and that no locking mechanisms are damaged.
•All integrated circuits and memory modules are susceptible to static electricity. When exchanging or installing a board or memory module, we recommend touching an earthed object (e.g. housing), to divert any electrostatic charge from your body.
To open the housing, proceed as follows:
1.Turn off the PC and all connected peripherals (monitor, printer etc.).
2.Disconnect the mains plug directly before opening the housing to ensure that the device is not connected from the mains.
3.Disconnect all connection cables (mouse, keyboard, printer, etc.).
4.Remove the housing cover, corresponding to your model, as described below.
