Reattach the Side Panels to the Case

Most computer cases have two panels, one on each side. Some computer cases have one three-sided cover that slides over the case frame.

As soon as the cover is in place, make sure that it is secured at all screw locations. Some computer cases use screws that are inserted with a screwdriver. Other cases have knob-type screws that can be tightened by hand.

If you are unsure how to remove or replace the computer case, refer to the documentation or the manufacturer's website for more information.

Caution

Handle case parts with care. Some computer case covers have sharp or jagged edges.

    1. Secure the panel to the case with the screws that came with the case. Start with the top screw, and then work your way down.
    2. Insert the panel into the groove in the case. Make sure it is properly aligned.
    3. Tighten the screws until you can no longer turn them with a screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
    4. If needed, you may add a small amount of glue or adhesive to secure the side panel to the case. Be sure to use the appropriate glue or adhesive that is safe for plastic and not too thick.
