After Closing the PC

To avoid injury and equipment damage, always follow this procedure in this order after

closing the PC:

1 Reconnect the power cord.

2 Reconnect the modem/telephone cable and all other cables (such as the keyboard,

mouse, and monitor).

3 Reconnect external devices.

4 Turn on the PC and all peripherals such as the monitor.

5 If you installed an add-in card, install any software drivers supplied by the card

manufacturer.

Removing the Side Panel

1 See “Before Opening the PC” on page 2.

2 Loosen the thumbscrew (A) that secures the side panel to the PC chassis. You may

need to use a screwdriver the first time you loosen the screw.

3 Use the handle to pull and slide the panel back about 1 inch (2.5 centimeters), and

then lift it off the chassis.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or damage to the

equipment, do not plug telecommunications or telephone connectors into the

network interface card (NIC) (labeled as an Ethernet connector).

WARNING: Beware of sharp edges inside the chassis.
