2 steps

Removing the back cover
Carefully disconnect the back cover from the enclosure frame. The back cover is hooked onto the frame at several points. Undo the hooks by inserting a pick between the back cover and the frame. Repeat this process for the entire device.

Take the back cover off of your device.

Attaching the back cover
Put the back cover back on.

Use your finger to press it onto the entire frame so all the clips on the back cover click into place on the enclosure.
