Left Side Panel of the System Unit

Closing the Left Side Panel of the System Unit

Perform these steps to close the left side panel.

1.Hold the left side panel so that the top and bottom hinge hooks can be inserted into their hinge slots. See Figure 5-2.Note that the hinge slots are located on the far right edge of the system unit (using the back of the system unit as the reference).

2.Swing the back edge of the panel toward the system unit’s back edge and press the outside edges of the side panel tightly against the system unit. This will ensure a tight seal of the EMI gaskets.

3.Secure the side panel in place with the two T-15 Torx thumbscrews you previously removed, and tighten them using 6 inch-pounds of torque.
