Subchassis and electronics bay
The chassis is comprised of three parts: the main chassis, a swing-out subchassis at the front, and a
swing-out subchassis, called the electronics bay, at the rear. To access components in some
instances, you must swing away and/or completely remove the subchassis and electronics bay.
1.
Observe the precautions as given in Safety & Regulatory Notices at the front of this
handbook.
2.
Turn off and disconnect all peripheral devices connected to the system.
3.
Turn off the system power by using the power on/off switch on the front panel AND unplug
all AC power cords.
4.
Remove and save the two screws from the back of the access cover; you will need them later
to reattach the cover.
5.
Remove the access cover.
6.
Loosen screws on the top and bottom edges of the chassis (A) in the illustration below. These
screws attach the front subchassis and the electronics bay to the main chassis.

You must disconnect all cabling to the electronics bay before rotating/removing the bay. Failure to
do so can result in serious damage to system components. The location of the main connectors in the
electronics bay is marked as D in the illustration below.
7.
Rotate the front subchassis left, away from the main chassis, until it stops (B).
8.
Disconnect all cabling to the electronics bay (D).
9.
Using the vertical edge of the electronics bay as a handle, rotate the bay right, away from the
main chassis, until it stops (C).
10. If necessary, completely remove the subchassis and electronics bay: rotate the bays outward
until the two pins that function as hinges for the bays slide out of their slots.
