It's an internal connection between the motherboad and RAM
It's a hot-swappable interface
It's only useful for connecting a printer to a computer
You'll find it only on very old computers
Unlock a pair of small levrs and slide the case cover off in one piece
Unscrew one side panel or the other from the front panel, according to your user manual
Take the screws out of the bottom panel and then lift the case straight up
Because cases vary, there is no standard way to open one
