Lid Removal¶
Overview¶
The Hako-Core chassis lid is designed for quick removal while maintaining structural integrity when closed. The Hako-Core features a slide-and-lift lid mechanism for easy maintenance access.
Safety First
It is always recommended to power down the system when working inside the case.
Warning!
