4 Loosen the two thumbscrews on the right side
panel, and if removing both side panels,
loosen the two flat screws on the left side
panel. The first time you loosen the
thumbscrews you may need a flathead
screwdriver. (Thumbscrews do not detach;
they'll stay on the panel loosely until you
tighten them again.) Use a flathead
screwdriver to remove the two screws on the
left side panel.
