Remove/Replace Procedure:

Step 1.

Disconnect all cables which are connected to the rear panel
and to the A18 rear panel PCB.

Step 2.

Remove the three screws on each side of the chassis that
fasten to the rear panel assembly.

Step 3.

Remove the two screws located near top and middle of rear
panel (near fan-mounting screws).

To replace the Rear Panel Assembly, perform the steps above in the re-
verse order.
