Genesis MP Front Panel (metal)
It is necessary to remove the Genesis MP front panel to remove
and replace the following subassemblies: LED & Cable Assembly,
Power Switch & Cable Assembly, Speaker & Cable Assembly.
You will remove the front panel and the 5.25˝ drive bay assembly
as a unit.
Removal of the front panel is not a trivial procedure, and to ensure
success, DayStar recommends you read over the procedure and
ensure that you have the correct understanding, tools, and work-
space ready before proceeding.
IMPORTANT
It may be necessary to remove devices installed in the 5.25˝
removable media bay in order to secure access to the nuts attach-
ing the 5.25˝ drive bay assembly to the wall of the Genesis MP
chassis. DayStar recommends that you back up all hard disks
before beginning any procedure requiring removal of a hard disk.
