  3. Grasp the handle and slide the cover approximately 1/2 inch to the rear.

  5. Remove the front bezel. Disconnect the cable for the power switch LED assembly from the system board. There are three latching tabs on the left side and three hinge tabs on the right of the bezel.
  6. While apply pressure to the top of the bezel, release each of the three tabs starting with the tabs on the top.
  7. Rotate the left side of the bezel away from the chassis until the hinge tabs are free.

  9. Place the system in the service position.
