Removal and Replacement Procedures - Ultra-Slim Desktop (USDT) Chassis

8.10 Front Chassis Panel

Removing the front chassis panel makes it easier to remove the front I/O device and the
power/LED switch assembly.
1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (Section 8.1).
2. Remove the computer top access panel (Section 8.3.1).
3. Remove the system fan (Section 8.9).
4. Remove the two screws that secure the front chassis panel to the chassis 1, then lift the panel
to free it 2.
Do not pull the front chassis panel too far from the front of the computer as the cables from the
power/LED switch and the front I/O device are still connecting it to the system board.
To install the front chassis panel, align the two hooks over the front edge of the chassis and slide
the panel into its final position before installing the retaining screws.
