Opening Indy case
Ivo Clarysse
How do I open the case of my SGI Indy ? (preferably without
destroying it)
There is this large metal hook on the back end - should I press
it downwards ?
Tnx in advance,
Ivo Clarysse.

From the manual:
Facing the front of the Indy ,place your right thumb on the small
channel at the back of the cover (in the center by the metal tab), and
your second and third fingers under the finger ledge,
Snap the cover loose by bracing your thumb against the lip and pushing
up the finger ledge with the second and third fingers, followed by a
small push to toward the front.
Slide the cover forward about 1 inch and tilt it up to remove it.
Hope this helps.

That "small push" has to be a bit more forceful than that on my machine :)

Opening the Indy box was the most masochistic experience in my life.
One of our Indys opens easily, just as they say in the manual,
to open the others, one has to pry the top off with a crowbar.
Why on Earth did they not just use normal screws?

open, but recently we bought two R5000SC Indy's which came from the USA,
both of which are extremely hard to open! Obviously Americans are much
stronger than Europeans (or maybe every American has a crowbar?)!

Or Swiss people make better quality products than Americans? :)

Incidentally, I use my Swiss Army knife to open our US Indys...
