Service Procedures
The following procedure describes how to remove the front panel. To provide stability
and easy access to components mounted on the center frame, removing the front panel is
recommended so that the center frame can stand on its EMI shield. It is not required to
remove the front panel from the center frame except to gain access to front panel
components and to replace the power supply.
1. Shut down the RIP Station 5000
(see "To shut down the RIP Station 5000" on page 4-2).
2. Open the RIP Station 5000
(see "To open the RIP Station 5000" on page 4-3).
3. Remove the four screws that secure the center frame to the front panel.
At this point, the UIB cable attached to the motherboard keeps the front panel from
being completely removed.
