Your Dell Precision 410 supports a variety of internal options that expand system capa-
bilities. This chapter prepares you to install options inside the computer. It describes
how to remove and replace the computer cover and rotate the power supply away
from the system board. It also familiarizes you with the internal components you may
handle if you install Dell hardware options.

To make working inside your computer easier, make sure you have adequate lighting
and a clean work space. If you temporarily disconnect cables or remove expansion
cards, note the position of the connectors and slots so that you can reassemble the
system correctly.
You will use the information in this section every time you install a hardware option
inside your computer.
Read this section carefully
