Removing the Drive Panel

CAUTION:

Your computer is heavy (it has an approximate minimum weight of 55

lbs) and can be difficult to maneuver. Seek assistance before attempting to lift,
move, or tilt it; this computer requires a two-man lift. Always lift correctly to avoid
injury; avoid bending over while lifting. See your

Product Information Guide for

other important safety information.

CAUTION:

The computer stand should be installed at all times to ensure

maximum system stability. Failure to install the stand could result in the computer
tipping over, potentially resulting in bodily injury or damage to the computer.

2 Remove the

computer cover (see "Removing the Computer Cover" on

page 141).

3 Grasp the sliding plate lever and push it towards the base of the computer

until the drive panel snaps open.
