Minitower Disassembly
A Phillips-head screwdriver is the only required disassembly tool. For complete disassembly
of the system unit, follow the disassembly order listed in Table 5-2. To reassemble, follow
the table and procedures in reverse order.
Individual removal procedures do not require the total disassembly of the computer. Each
of the following subsections lists the parts that must be removed before beginning the
removal procedure. See “Minitower Illustrated Parts Breakdown” later in this section for an
exploded-view diagram of the system unit.

When disassembling the system unit, follow these general rules.
Disconnect all peripherals.
When handling boards or chips, touch the system unit frame to discharge static.
Do not disassemble parts other than those specified in the procedure.
All screws are Phillips-head, unless otherwise specified.
Label all removed connectors. Note where the connector goes and in what
position it was installed.
On completion of any reassembly, perform a power-on test (see Section 2, “Setup and
Operation”). If a fault occurs, verify that the reassembly was performed correctly.
