Removing The Side Panel - HP 79XXY Owner's Manual

Removing the Side Panel

You must remove the side panel to add memory,
insert add-in cards, install or remove drives, or
change the battery.
1 Turn off the computer and all peripherals.
2 Disconnect the modem/phone cable.
3 Disconnect the power cord and all other
attached cables (such as the keyboard, mouse,
and monitor).
4 Loosen the two thumbscrews on the right side
of the back panel. The first time you loosen
these screws you'll need a flathead
screwdriver. (These screws do not detach;
they'll stay on the side panel loosely until you
tighten them again.)
5 Stand behind the computer, and place one
hand on top of the chassis.
