Preparing the Workstation to Remove the Frontplane Module

The procedure for replacing the frontplane module includes a number of steps from
earlier sections of this guide (as described below). Bookmarking these sections can help
you organize this task. For help identifying Octane2 components, refer to the illustrations
in Chapter 1. Make sure you have the new part nearby before beginning the replacement
procedure.
1. Go to "Shutting Down and Powering Off the System" on page 161, then follow the
instructions for "Removing the Bezel" on page 162.
