I don't know about the 2100, but the 4100 I have has cabinet interlock
switches and you can't run with the cover off as it kills the PS output.
They do this cause of airflow - the system wont survive long with the
cover off. I've since located my switches, but they are damn near
impossible to see. I've had a switch get funky on mine and I had to bend
the cover a bit and make sure the cover was screwed in tight to make the
switch close.
