      • While holding the Top Panel at a slight downward angle, slide it across the top of the chassis (from rear to front) until you feel its clips catch.

      • There should be a small gap between the Top Panel and the front of the Desktop.

      • Lay the Top Panel flat on the chassis to align the remaining clips.
