HP Workstation Z840 - remove faceplate

[Linda Linda]

Good morning,

I am not very experienced in PC, can someone explain to me how to remove the front panel shown in the photo of Z840?

I would like to insert a card reader.

How do I take it apart?

If a video example were possible I would be very happy.

just careful since plastic clip sometimes kinda hard to open

Looks really simple. Pull the green release handle, and slide the filler block out.
If you can't figure this out, idk how you're gonna plug it in, but whatever...

thank you,
with your help it was very easy to do this.
Is the right place to plug in the card reader cable ( the card reader is USB 2 )?
see photos.
Thanks

It more than likely is, and it won't hurt to try.
