Installing System Options

Introduction

This chapter explains how to install optional memory, expansion boards, and drives inside
your Digital AlphaStation 400 Series system.

Removing the Side Panels

To remove the side panels, perform the following steps:

Turn off your system and all peripheral devices.

Unplug the power cord and remove the monitor power cord (if connected) and video
cable.

Wait at least 20 seconds, to allow time for the power supply capacitors to safely
discharge.

Unlock the side panels. To unlock the side panels, turn the key clockwise to a
horizontal position (Figure 3-1).

________________________ CAUTION __________________________

To avoid system damage from static discharge, touch bare (unpainted) metal on
the system before you touch anything inside the system.

____________________________________________________________

Slide the panels to the rear of the system unit (Figure 3-1), and remove them.
