To Remove A13 Front Panel Module

Use the following procedure to remove the entire A13 front-panel assembly
and the PCB contained. No other lower-level parts are available for
replacement on this assembly.

1

Ensure that the top, bottom, and both-side covers are removed.

2

Open the front-panel door.

3

Carefully remove the 9/16” dress nuts that hold the 1 pps Output
and Sync Input BNC connectors to the inside front panel.

4

Close the front door securely.

5

Remove trim strips from sides of the front-panel frame.

6

Remove the four screws that hold the front-panel assembly to the
left and right side chassis members.

7

Carefully disconnect the front-panel ribbon cable assembly at its
A13 front-panel connector end.

8

Install a new front-panel assembly by reversing the order of the
above procedural steps.
