Removing Loose Parts
Accessing the Interior of Your Computer
AMD Computers (white and blue case)
Intel Computers (beige and green case)
When upgrading your computer, never let loose metal parts remain in your
computer. If you accidentally drop a screw or a paper clip in the system, remove it
before turning on your computer. If a metal part is touching any part of the circuit
boards in the system, it can cause a short-circuit, which can damage the computer.
To minimize the chance of loose parts entering your computer, do not remove parts
from their antistatic bag until you are ready to use them.
@Xi computers come in various configurations and with various single and dual
microprocessors. Each configuration has its own instructions for accessing the
inside of the computer. Please refer to the appropriate section for accessing the
interior of your computer system.
Computers equipped with an AMD microprocessor have a white-and-blue case. To
access the interior of computers equipped with an AMD microprocessor, perform
the following procedure.
1. With the system standing up, face the back of the computer and locate the two
clip holes on the right side (one at the top of the case and one at the bottom).
2. Insert your thumbs through the holes and push in (away from the case).
3. When you feel the clips "snap," move the panel an inch toward you.
4. When the panel is slightly removed, hold the overhang at the top of the case
and pull up the top portion of the panel away from the case.
5. Slide the panel straight up and away from the computer.
Computers equipped with an Intel microprocessor have a beige-and-green case. To
access the interior of computers equipped with an Intel microprocessor, perform
the following procedure.
1. With the system standing up, face the back of the computer and locate the two
screws near the middle of the back panel.
2. Remove the screws and set them aside.
