Disassembly Sequence - NEC Direction SP E-Series Reference Manual

This section contains step-by-step disassembly procedures for the system unit.
Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. The procedures are supported by
simplified disassembly illustrations to facilitate removal.
A Phillips-head screwdriver is the only required tool. For complete disassembly
of the system unit, follow the disassembly order listed in the following table. To
reassemble, follow the table and procedures in reverse order.
Individual removal procedures do not require the total disassembly of the
computer. Each of the following subsections lists the parts that must be removed
before beginning the removal procedure.
