Removing the power supply
You must remove the power supply unit (PSU) before you can install a
central processing unit (CPU) and other system components.
To remove the PSU:
1.
Lay the system on its side on a
flat, stable surface.
2.
Disconnect the optical drive and
floppy disk drive power plugs.
3.
Remove the screw that secures
the PSU to the chassis.
4.
Slide the PSU as the zoomed
image shows, until the side hook
is disengaged from the chassis.
5.
Push the PSU towards the front
panel for about half an inch.
6.
Slightly lift the PSU.
7.
Disconnect the power plugs on
the motherboard, then set the
PSU aside.
When removing the PSU,
make sure to hold or
support it firmly. The unit
may accidentally drop
and damage other system
components.
