To replace the computer cover, perform the following steps:

1. Check all cable connections, especially those that might have come loose during your work. Fold cables out of the way so that they do not

catch on the computer cover. Make sure cables are not routed over the drive cage

—they will prevent the cover from closing properly.

2. Check to see that no tools or extra parts (including screws) are left inside the computer's chassis.

3. Replace the computer cover.


If your computer is a mini tower chassis, perform the following steps:

a. Face the left side of the computer and hold the cover at a slight angle as shown in

Figure 4

. While aligning the top of the cover with the

top of the chassis, insert the three hooks on the cover into the three recessed slots on the computer chassis.

b. Pivot the cover down toward the bottom of the chassis and into position. With both hands, press against the bottom edge of the cover

to make sure that the securing hooks at the bottom of the cover click into place (see

Figure 4

).

c. Slide the two halves of the padlock ring together to lock the cover release mechanism.
