How to open front bezel/cover of HP Omen Desktop Casing

[skywalker2077]

I have an HP Omen Desktop PC. 

There is a provision to install a 3rd cooling fan inside the case, behind the front cover. I am not able to open the front bezel cover of this casing to access the area for installing the third cooling fan (picture attached). If someone could guide me with pictures/video on opening the front bezel cover? 

I have opened the top base by releasing 5pcs screws both side. I also unscrewed 2 more on both sides of the front bezel but it just doesn't come off. I fear to break the front bezel hook and did not push it any further.

There is this piece of doc that walks you through the disassembly of this casing, but neither the pictures nor the descriptions are clear. Link below:

Greetings,

Welcome back to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

The service procedure for removing the front bezel can be reviewed at this video (Link).

I am testing this link. I may have to provide an alternative way to get to the video.

You need Flash to view this video.

Hang on.

Also look at the Front Cover Video for more detail.

Does this motherboard have an open fan header for a additional fan?

Thank you Grzwacz for the video link. Will try this tonight.

This motherboard (Tampa2) has  3 fan headers and 3 fan connectors for each of the fans. 

First one is the Top Fan Connector for the fan (92 mm) installed at the back of the casing,

2nd one is the CPU Fan Connector for the stock CPU fan.

The 3rd one is the PCI Fan Connector, for the fan (120 mm) located behind the front cover.

There is an additional 92 mm fan header right on top of the 120 mm fan, directly behind the front cover. I replaced the Top Fan with an AIO liquid cooler. Now each time I turn on my PC, the BIOS gives an error code because it is not finding the Top Fan. I plan to install the 92 mm Top Fan at this additional header and reconnect the Top Fan Connector, to get rid of this error message.
