    • Slide the top cover about an inch forward using your thumb to push it towards you.

    • Make sure that the bottom is still secured by both hands.

    • Lay the desktop back on the table and pull the case forward as far as it can go.

    • Lift the cover up and off.

    In this step, make clear that the CPU is lifted in the air to aide in the cover separation. Cover removal for a CPU is usually the most time consuming step if not clearly outlined. Employ brevity but clarity.

    • Using a Torx-Security T-15 screw driver, loosen the screws a little at a time evenly on each screw (process described below):

    • This process is done by slightly unscrewing a screw at one corner and moving to the screw at the diagonal corner next to unscrew slightly.

    • Then move to the opposite corners and repeat the process.

    • Continue until all of the screw are completely removed.

    • Remember to loosen opposite corners first to equalize the pressure on the springs. Do not completely unscrew one screw at one time. Unscrew each screw a little at a time.
