Replacing the Computer Cover
Use the following procedure to replace the computer cover:
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 cover.
Face the left side of the computer and hold the cover at a slight angle as shown in Figure 3. While aligning the top of the cover with the top of
the chassis, insert the hooks on the cover into the recessed slots on the computer chassis.
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.
Slide the two halves of the padlock ring together to lock the cover release mechanism.
