    • Slide the bottom panel horizontally toward the back of the console until it comes to a stop.

    • This slides the clips out of the slots on the plastic case.

    • Lift straight up and remove the bottom panel from the plastic case.

    • With the bottom of the Xbox facing you, pull the two bottom-rear corners of the plastic case away from each other.

    • As you pull the corners apart, slide the back panel towards the bottom of the device. This releases the back panel from the plastic case.

    • The back panel should now settle on top of the clips on the back of the plastic case.

    • The back panel is permanently attached to the aluminum chassis.

    • Do not attempt to fully remove the chassis from the plastic case with this technique. You may risk breaking your case.
