If it's anything like the 9343 model from 2015, a T5 Torx driver and a wedge tool can pop it open. I swapped the Broadcom card for an Intel 7620 in mine.

+1 on this. If you get the Broadcom card in your Dell, replace it ASAP. It can cause so many issues but it's really easy to replace. Costs around $40 including the torx driver and takes under 10 minutes.
