5 Turn the counter chassis upright and position the counter as
shown in Figure 4-10.
6 Remove the T20 TORX screw on the front left-hand side of the
motherboard as shown in Figure 4-10.
NOTE The four standoffs on the aluminum side panels (two on each side,
front) secure the front panel into the four holes cut out on the
plastic sides of the front panel (two on each side). The next steps
free the standoffs from the holes so the front panel can be
removed.
