Top Cover

The top cover is mounted to the system via three thumbscrews located underneath the front bezel. When the bezel is locked on the system, access to the thumbscrews is prevented, providing top cover security.

IMPORTANT - More Information NOTE: There is a side door on the top cover which can be opened by turning the key lock and depressing the two tabs. This door allows access to the PCI slots without removing the entire cover.
