Applicable to: World-Wide
Disconnect the system unit power cord.
Remove the screws at the back of the tower.
Insert a screwdriver under one of the tabs on the back of the cover and gently pry the tower cover so that it separates from the tower.
Slide the cover back about half inch (or 1.25 centimeters).
Lift the cover up by the top front and back edges, pulling the sides out and away from the tower.
Touch the outside of the bare metal frame of the tower to dissipate any static electricity from your body. Do not touch any of the components inside the frame. Be careful not to touch any component displaying a voltage warning label, such as the power supply.
Disconnect the tower power cord.
NOTE: To prevent the tower from tipping over, you may want to lay the tower on its side on a work surface, such as a table.
Touch the bare metal frame of the system to dissipate any static electricity from your body (do not touch any of the components inside the frame until you have done this). Do not touch any component(s) with a voltage warning label.
NOTE: Replacing the Cover
To replace the tower cover, lower the cover down over the tower, pressing in on the sides so the hooks inside the cover fit over the bottom ledge of the tower. Slide the cover forward into place. Secure the tower cover by replacing the screws you removed.
CAUTION: When you replace the cover, there are hooks inside the cover that help fit it to the tower.
