Removing panels

1/6 MS660 OWNER'S HANDBOOK
For complete access to the motherboard and for fitting expansion
boards the main side panel and the top panel both have to be
removed. Both side panels will require removal if any drives are to
be fitted into the remaining drive bays.
Warning Warning
Turn off the computer, along with all peripherals, and unplug all power
cords before removing any panels. Take suitable antistatic precautions
while any of the system panels have been removed.
Main panel
1. Unlock the cover with the special key provided. The lock is
shown on the drawing opposite.
2. Release the appropriate panel screws.
3. Slide the panel carefully towards the rear of the system using
the handle provided.
4. After about 2 to 3 cm movement it is possible to lift the panel
vertically clear of the system.
The lower half of the motherboard and all of its components are
now accessible. For complete access carry on and remove the top
panel.
Caution Caution
Exercise care with the removed panels as there are metal fixings and
hooks on the inside. These may scratch delicate surfaces.
Top panel
1. First remove the main side panel as detailed above.
2. Remove the top panel retaining screw.
3. Again slide the panel towards the rear of the system.
