That plastic cover just pries up. If it's a little stiff you could grip it
with a pair of pliers.

By the way, there's a little belt static discharge gadget available at
supply shops that you wrap around your wrist and plug into the elecrical
cord that plugs into your computer. Quite inexpensive and a good thing to
have if you are doing things like replacing batteries, adding Ram,
installing new cards, etc.
