Replacing the Computer Cover
1 Make sure that all cables are connected. Fold cables out of the way.
Make sure that the cables are not routed over the drive cage—they will
prevent the cover from closing properly.
2 Make sure that no tools or extra parts (like screws) are left inside the
computer.
3 Hold the cover at a slight angle. While aligning the top of the cover
with the top of the computer, insert the three hooks on the cover into
the three recessed slots on the computer.
