Removing the CPU Board and Memory Module
1. Locate the CPU board.
It is labeled on the rear panel as the Serial Interface connector (in slot 1).
2. Remove the screw to the left of the connector.
3. It may be necessary to remove the clamping spring that holds the card cage to the power
supply. If so, use needle-nose pliers or a screwdriver to pull the clamping spring straight
back and out.
4. Grasp each end of the board and rock it until it loosens from its position. Lift the board up
and out of the unit.
5. Figure 8 provides the location of the battery-backed memory module on the CPU board.
