Disassemble/Assemble
This section describes how to disassemble and assemble the machine. First, disassembling/
assembling of the unit, next, disassembling of each unit are shown. To assemble each unit, follow
in the reverse order of disassembling. Pay attention to the following cautions when disassem-
bling and assembling the machine.
(1) Confirm that power of the machine is off.
(2) Disconnect options and cables that are connected to the machine.
(3) Save programs if any that are stored in the RAM of main memory and the option onto cassette
tapes, etc.
(4) When repairing, storing, or shipping the MAPLE board, care must be used to prevent any
shortcircuit on the board.
(5) Avoid placing boards that incorporate ICs (MAPLE board, LCD panel board, option board, etc.)
directly on a work stand. If it is not practical, place it with the component side below (so that
static electricity will not affect it).
(6) Pay attention so that cables may not be caught by case, fitting poles, etc.
(7) When fitting a screw, pay attention to the length of the screw.
(8) When fitting a component with screw lock being used, be sure to apply specified screw lock.
(9) As for boards such as MAPLE board with battery on it, power off the battery line to protect the
board from short-circuit or remove the battery and keep it.
Should the board be left with the battery installed, it would be completely discharged, and the
battery life might be shortened.
