PREPARING THE DX8100 FOR SCSI CARD INSTALLATION
This section describes how to access the DX8100 interior. For information about mounting the DX8100
in a rack, refer to the DX8100 Installation manual.
OPENING THE DX8100 CHASSIS
If the DX8100 is mounted in a rack, the DX8100 must be removed from the rack. Two people might be
required to lift and remove the DX8100. To move the DX8100 to an area that will provide full access to
the DX8100’s internal components do the following:
WARNING: Make sure the unit is turned off and you are wearing a properly grounded ESD wrist
strap before attempting to open the DX8100 chassis cover.
1. Disconnect any cables or connections that may restrict access or interfere with the removal of the
unit.
2. (If applicable) Unscrew the fasteners that are securing the unit in the rack, and carefully lift the unit
out of the rack.
3. Place the DX8100 on a flat surface with ample workspace.
WARNING: The chassis assembly includes parts with sharp edges. To avoid injury, use caution
when working in and around the DX8100’s chassis and components.
4. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the chassis cover, referring to Figure 5:
a. Remove the top two screws on the left and right side panels of the DX8100.
b. Remove the four silver screws (on the top of the unit) fastening the cover to the back of the unit.
c. Carefully remove the chassis cover by sliding it back and up. Set aside the cover.
