removing the side panel

1 See “before opening the pc” on page 98.

2 Loosen the two thumbscrews on the right side of the back panel. The first time you loosen these screws, you may need to use a Phillips screwdriver. These screws do not detach; they stay on the side panel loosely until you tighten them again.

3 Pull the panel back toward you until it stops. Lift the panel off the chassis and set it aside.

NOTE: You do not need to remove the other side panel to replace the hardware listed in this guide.
