NOTICE: Do not open the cover if the computer is on the edge of a desk or
table. Doing so may cause the computer to tip over and fall. Make sure that the
computer is situated so that there is at least 12 inches of desk- or table-top for
the cover to rest on.
NOTICE: Open the computer cover slowly to prevent damage to the system
cables.
Press in on the two securing buttons until the cover is free to swing up.
NOTICE: On the small mini-tower computer, to prevent damage to the system
board, open the cover until it catches at a 45-degree angle. Then remove the
drive data cables from the system board and open the cover to a 90-degree
angle.
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.
Check to see that no tools or extra parts (including screws) are left
inside the computer.
On the small mini-tower computer, close the cover to a 45-degree
angle and connect the drive data cables to the system board.
Close the computer cover by pivoting the cover down toward the back
of the computer and into position. Make sure that the securing
buttons click into place.
Replace the padlock, if required.
