Replacing a SATA Hard Drive on a Hog iPC Console

 

Before beginning, follow these setup instructions: 

-  Disconnect power to the console. 
-  Disconnect all monitors, external devices (keyboards, widgets, etc) and 

remove the main console portion from the roadcase.  
 

Opening the Hog iPC Console: 

 
1.  Use a 4mm hex key to remove the 4 silver screws holding the front panel in 
place 

(encoder 

wheels 

and 

fader 

caps 

need 

not 

be 

removed). 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
2.   Gently lift the front panel PCB 
(circuit  board)  up  as  you  would  a 
car hood (there are connections at 
the  top  of  this  board  that  can  be 
damaged  if  you  pull  straight  up).  
Please note this circuit board is not 
hinged to the console.
