Chapter 1 - The Big Picture
Caution:
Whenever you open the case or work inside the computer there is danger of
electrostatic discharge. Electrostatic discharge can permanently damage
your equipment. Always ground yourself by touching the system cabinet
before touching any internal component. We strongly recommend using an
antistatic wrist strap attached to cabinet ground.
To open a desktop case:
1. Turn off the monitor and system unit power. Unplug the AC
power cables and disconnect any other cables attached to
the back of the system unit.
2. Remove the plastic bezel from the back of the case by
pulling it away from the case.
3. Unscrew the five mounting screws at the back of the case
that hold the case cover to the system unit chassis.
4. Slide the case cover back and up. Be careful not to snag any
cables or connectors inside the case.
5. Set the case cover aside while you work on your system.
6. When through, reattach the case cover, screws, bezel, and
cables in the reverse order.
