the lock is in the unlocked position. Lift straight up on the back
panel at the rear of the system unit and remove the rear panel.
Disconnect all cables at the rear of the system unit. You should note
the socket location for each cable you remove to allow correct cable
replacement later.
Warning: Do not open the anti-static bag on any adapter until
instructed to do so. Some adapters can be damaged by static
discharge. To prevent this damage, the adapters are wrapped in
anti-static bags.
3. Turn the thumbscrew [1] to loosen the system unit cover. Remove the
system unit cover by sliding it forward approximately
2.5 cm (1 in.) and lifting it.

6. Unpack the IBM 4684 Store Loop Adapter/A from the box.
Hold the adapter (still wrapped in its anti-static bag) in one hand.
With your other hand, touch an unpainted metal part on the rear of the
terminal. This will discharge any static buildup.
Carefully slide the anti-static bag back from the end of the adapter
and remove the anti-static bag. Handle the adapter only by the edges;
do not touch the connectors, components, or solder connections.
