    Help with gfx card slot cover(?)
    « on: April 01, 2010, 03:39:30 PM »
    I can't seem to find any way of removing the covers to install my new card, theres no screws or anything to indicate how to remove them. There's only one hatch type of thing in the back (seen in the left of the pic) but all that does is open and close.

    Please help :-\

      The card slot blanks appear to be 'Knock-outs' and are designed to be removed by gently twisting until they snap out. They will look to be attached by very tiny 'tangs' at four or five points. They are disposable & cannot be re-used. Check carefully first! Hope this helps. Alexma
