Opening the computer

1

Disconnect all the cables from the computer, except for the power cord.

Leave the computer plugged in for now, to ground it and protect its
components from static electricity damage.

2

Loosen the large screws on the back panel.

If you have a Power Macintosh 8500, there are four screws, one at each
corner of the back panel. If you have a Power Macintosh 9500, there are six
screws, one at each corner and two on the sides of the back panel. Do not
completely remove the screws or the back panel.
