Opening the case on your Asus mini-tower requires only a screwdriver and a few minutes of your time.
The ACPI BIOS on an Asus P4SC-E computer is a small, programmable chip located on the motherboard. The BIOS itself cannot be opened, but it can be physically accessed by opening the computer case and exposing the motherboard. It's not necessary to open up the case to access the BIOS setup menu since you can do this through a software interface when the computer boots up. However, if you'd like to open the case out of curiosity, or if you would like to upgrade your hardware, it will require only a screwdriver and a few minutes of your time.
Instructions
1. Shut down your Asus computer and disconnect the power cord from the back. Turn the computer around so that the back is facing you.
2. Remove the four retaining screws on the back of the case. The Asus mini-tower design uses one retaining screw at each corner of the case.
3. Locate the small indent on the left side of the Asus mini-tower case. Place your hand in that indentation and push back firmly until the cover slides free. Remove the cover and set it aside.
4. Turn the mini-tower on its side so that the motherboard is easily accessible. You can now swap out the CPU, install a new video card, or upgrade other hardware on the computer.
