Note
Before you slide the top cover forward, ensure that all the tabs on the top cover engage the chassis correctly. If the tabs do not engage the chassis correctly, it will be very difficult to remove the top cover later.

  1. Ensure that the cover latch is in the open position. Lower the cover onto the chassis until all tabs on both sides of the cover engage with the guides on both sides of the chassis.
  2. Pivot the cover latch and slide the cover forward until the cover snaps into position. Ensure that the cover latch is completely closed.
  3. Use a screwdriver to turn the cover lock to the closed position.
