The package provides a fuse and a Power Entry Module. The manual only tells me to snap in the Power Entry Module. It seems that the manual does not say anything about the fuse (just finishing the chassis, maybe somewhere later).

Not sure if the Power Entry Module has already got a fuse inside it?

If not, how to open the fuse holder to insert the fuse. I tried a little bit to open the fuse cover with my nail, but it seemed quite difficult to open. So I stopped there just to avoid damaging anything. Should I try really hard or even use some tools, such as a screw-driver, to open the cover?

The manual probably has you put the fuse in when you do the voltage checks. You can put it in now if you want. It will not affect anything.

There should be a notch on the edge where the cable is inserted. Try using your finger nail or a flare head screwdriver. Don't use to much force, just work it out slowly.

Great, thank you so much for your answer.

I haven't reached the voltage check step yet. So didn't know how to deal with the fuse. Glad you got the answer.

I tried a few times with my finger nail. It's now open. It's a pull-out type cover instead of a flip-over type - no wonder I couldn't flip it over initially. Now I can see it's empty inside and does need a fuse.
