As mentioned in my other reply, the small panel is on the rear (not the
bottom one where you install memory and AirPort). Since iMacs are designed
to look nice from any angle (unlike the rear of any PC), Apple made two
interchangable panels to keep a clean appearance.

Since most folks don't hook up an external monitor to their iMac, one panel
is solid. For those who want access to the VGA connector, you can remove the
solid panel and install the one with a recessed oval that allows access to
the VGA port.

When the iMac is first pulled from the box, the owner installs the preferred
panel which is usually the solid one. Then they eventually misplace the
other one along with their manuals and software CDs.
