Removing and Replacing the Tower System’s Access
Panels
Your tower system has external and internal access panels that need to be removed
before you can access the system’s internal components, and these panels have to be
replaced after your work with the components has been completed. This section covers
how to remove and replace these panels. Note that removing/replacing the front access
panel is covered in a subsequent section “Removing and Replacing the Tower System’s
Front Access Panel” covered in this chapter.
Removing the Tower System’s Access Panels
If you need to upgrade or just remove/replace internal system components, you will need
to remove the system’s external and internal left-side panels.
1. Turn the system’s power off and disconnect the system’s power cable(s). If you are
only removing a system fan, you can leave the system on and the power cables
connect because the system fans are hot-swappable. If you need to remove or replace
a processor’s turbofan, see the section “Removing and Replacing a Processor” in this
chapter for instructions.
2. Use the indentations located on the top edge of the left-side panel and pull outward
to un-snap and rotate it away from system. See Figure 2-3. After an approximate 45
degree rotation, lift the left-side panel upwards and off of the two lower retaining
tabs.
