Step2: OuterShell/Casing
First off, we have to unscrew the four screws on the back of the computer.
Once the screws are removed, we can remove the side panels.
we have to unplug the fan from the motherboard. The system fan should be
labeled "SYS_FAN1".
unscrew the fan from the outside and should now be able to lift the fan out of
the PC
The power supply supplies power to every component in a computer. The list
below is everything that to disconnect:
o Motherboard (very large connector/plug)
o CD/DVD drive[s] power
o Internal hard drive power
o Portable hard drive slot power
Remove the screws on the occupied card slots. Once the screws are removed, you
should be able to remove the cards by pulling them carefully upward.
If you dont hit the key in time, Windows will load and you will have to reboot and
retry.
Note: The steps listed below are for the example BIOS only; your computer's BIOS
may be slightly different.
