5.1.
Opening and Closing the NWA-6500 Series
Before opening the NWA-6500 Series, the system must be switched off and
disconnected from the main power supply. Also, disconnect all peripheral devices from
the NWA-6500 Series. Before you begin, ensure that you have a clean, flat and ESD-
safe surface to work on.
For opening and closing the NWA-6500 Series, please perform the following steps:
1.
Close all applications. Shut down the system properly and disconnect the connection to the main power source.
Disconnect all peripherals.
2.
The NWA-6500 Series should lay on a flat, clean surface with the access cover facing upwards.
3.
Loosen and remove the six Phillips screws (three located on the front I/O panel and the other three on the rear),
that secure the access cover to the chassis. Retain the screws for later use.

4.
Lift the access cover up.
5.
Now you have access to the internal DDR4 UDIMM, SATA, mSATA / mPCIe, M.2 and Micro-SIM card slots / sockets
respectively in order to remove or install hardware components.
6.
For closing replace carefully the access cover to the system and screw it on with the retained screws.
7.
Tighten the retained screws when the cover is firmly in place.
When used as intended, the NWA-6500 Series is to operate only in closed condition.
Only when the access cover is properly fixed with the screws, it is ensured that the
user does not have access to the internal parts of the NWA-6500 Series.
