6) Gently lift the power supply out of the system as illustrated in Figure 4-98.

Figure 4-98

7) Take the new main power supply unit supplied by MaxVision support and incorporate it into the

system by performing the steps described above in reverse order.

Motherboard

Replacing the motherboard is non-trivial. It is easy to damage the motherboard unless one has the
appropriate tools and training. For this reason, you must either return the MaxPac system to
MaxVision or be factory trained by MaxVision personnel (see

Appendix D

for more details about

contacting MaxVision support and returning your MaxPac to MaxVision).

1) Open the display assembly into its service position as discussed earlier in this chapter.

2) Remove any PCI and PCI Express cards as discussed earlier in this chapter.

3) Remove the Power Distribution Board as detailed earlier in this chapter.

4) In order to replace the motherboard, the display power cables, display data cables and soft power

cable must be disconnected. Cut any cable ties that are holding the display power and data
cables in place as shown in figures 4-99 through 4-101
