Loosen all connecting cables to the boards, then lever out all boards as described above using the
two levers at the right and at the left.

connections to the RF-FRONTEND, MOTHERBOARD2, FRONTPANEL BOARD, REARPANEL
BOARD1 and REARPANEL BOARD2. Disconnect the fan connecting cable and remove the Option

Remove the partition inserted between air duct and module support as reinforcement by unscrewing
the four screws.
Place the instrument upside down and unscrew all the five combi screws on MOTHERBOARD1, then
slightly shift MOTHERBOARD1 towards the rear until the six motherboard supports slide out of the
keyholes. Then swing out MOTHERBOARD1 towards the top.
