Removing the Covers and Graphics Board

Once the system is shut down and all the cables are disconnected, follow these steps:
1. Remove the plastic front cover.
Face the front of the Indigo chassis.
Two tabs on top of the front cover hold it in place.
Press down on the tabs and pull the panel away from the chassis, as shown in
Figure 6-14.

Caution: The graphics board is extremely sensitive to static electricity; you must
wear the wrist strap while removing it. The wrist strap prevents the flow of static
electricity, which could damage the board.
2. Ground yourself to the metal part of the chassis.
Put the wrist strap over your wrist making sure it is tight against your arm, and
then attach its alligator clip to a metal part of the chassis. The notch above the
top drive slot works well.
3. Open the front metal panel.
A thumbscrew holds the metal panel in place.
Loosen the panel by unscrewing the thumbscrew, as shown in Figure 6-15.
Tilt the panel down until it rests on the flat surface.
