Abstract
A computer panel includes a panel member to be locked against the side of a computer casing from which the disk drives are accessed. The panel member has a window opening to access the disk drives. A cover is hinged to the panel member to close the window opening. A first lock is provided on the panel member to lock the panel member against the computer casing. A second lock is similarly provided on the panel member to lock the cover against the panel member. A key operable rotary actuator is mounted on the panel member and connected to the first and second locks to simultaneously actuate the first and second locks to unlock the cover from the panel member and the panel member from the computer casing when the rotary actuator is operated by a key.
