Removing the Expansion Board Cage
The removable expansion board cage allows quick removal of expansion
boards, without disconnecting the cables attached to the connectors on the
boards, and without the use of tools. With the expansion board cage removed
from the chassis, you can easily access the system board.
To remove the expansion board cage:
1. Turn off the workstation and any external devices.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. Remove the workstation cover.
CAUTION:
The power supply in the Compaq Professional
Workstation 5100 contains an auxiliary power section. Make sure
the power switch is off and the unit is unplugged before removing
the I/O bracket assembly in the following step.
4. Grasp the expansion board cage firmly with both hands, one hand on
back and one hand on front, then pull up and out to remove it from the
chassis.
