Plastic Wire/Cable Fastener and Clips
Three different plastic wire fasteners secure many of the system wires. You have to loosen these
fasteners to gain access to the wires for several computer components. See the following illustration for
proper routing of wires.
To loosen the fastener on the chassis floor:
1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (
Preparation for Disassembly on page 91).
2. Remove the access panel (
Access Panel on page 92).
3. Rotate the drive cage to its upright position.
4. To open the square fastener (1), at the notch where the fastener latch connects, pull the top of the
fastener up and outward.
5. To open the round fastener (2), twist the two ends of the fastener until the ends come apart.
6. To open the fastener mounted under the hard drive (3), pull the latch on the right side of the fastener
directly downward.
To close the fastener, reverse the loosening procedure.
