Case Components
Ordinarily you will not need to replace any of the external case components unless they are
broken or cosmetically damaged. All case components are designed for durability, but the
door and hinge assembly may require replacement before other items.
To replace the hinge or door, you must first remove the top cover. To replace the face panel,
you must remove the top cover and the door.
To replace the top cover:
1. Remove the top cover. See Chapter 1, “Accessing the System,” for details.
2. Install the new cover.
To replace the door and hinge assembly:

holes on the underside of the door.
