Compaq Deskpro EP Series of Personal Computers 1-3
1.2 System Design
! Desktop models of the Compaq Deskpro EP Series of Personal Computers use an
innovative chassis to house the removable system board, expansion boards, power
supply, and mass storage devices.
!
Internal components are accessible when the access panel is removed.
!
The front bezel is a multi-part assembly that attaches to the chassis with release
latches. Attached to the back of the front bezel is a subpanel that holds the bezel
blanks.
! The system board may be removed from the chassis after the access panel is
removed. Details of the disassembly procedure are found in Chapter 4, “Removal
and Replacement Procedures.”
! The drive bays are located in the front of the chassis; there are two 3.5-inch drive
bays for internal hard drives and three 5.25-inch drive bays for accessible mass
storage.
!
The chassis design allows drive installation without the use of rails. Guide screws
installed on each side of the drive ensures its proper alignment within the drive
bay. Extra guide screws are provided in the front of the chassis.
! The desktop model of this computer may be converted to a minitower
configuration. See Chapter 4, “Removal and Replacement Procedures,” for
additional information and instructions.
Detailed descriptions of the system components are presented in the sections that follow.
