13 Door Removal and Replacement

This section describes how to remove and replace the door.

13.1 Preparation

If necessary, open the door of the EXB-8200 after checking that there is no
data cartridge in the EXB-8200. To open the door, use an appropriate tool,
such as a small screwdriver, to move the door release lever toward the front of
the EXB-8200. Figure 13-1 shows the location of the door release lever. The
amount of force required to activate the lever is slight and the movement is
less than 1/8 of an inch. Be careful not to damage the small switch contacts
next to the door release lever.

13.2 Door Removal

To remove the door, follow these steps:
1. Using a flat blade screwdriver, separate the door from the door retainer.
The locking tabs that hold the two together are near the top edge of the
door. Figure 13-2 shows where to position the screwdriver to separate
the door and the door retainer.
Start with either side of the door and position the screwdriver so that the
prying force will separate the two components. Apply the force so that it
pushes the door retainer tab toward the outside edge of the door as well
as away from the door.
2. Unlatch the remaining locking tab using the same method.
3. Separate the two components so that the bottom locking tabs are also re-
leased and both parts can be removed and set aside.
