The angular enclosure on top of the control panel surround is the monitor support. To replace
the mechlok cable, lift column slides, upper cable harness, or lower enclosure top panel, you
must remove the monitor support and its front panel.
➤ Replacing the Monitor Support and its Front Panel
To replace the monitor support and its front panel, see Figure 13-5 on page 193 to locate parts
and assemblies, and complete the following procedure:
1. Disconnect the system power cord from the main AC supply.
2. Remove the monitor. See “Replacing the Monitor” on page 157.
3. Remove the system control panel. See “Replacing the System Control Panel” on page 159.
4. From under the control panel surround, remove the 19 screws that secure the monitor
support and front panel.
5. Remove the monitor support front panel by rotating its bottom edge forward.
6. Remove the twivel assembly. See “Disassembling the Twivel” on page 158.
7. Remove the monitor support while feeding the VGA cable and the monitor power cable
through the twivel base. Feed the monitor power cable through before the VGA cable.
NOTE The VGA cable connector does not fit through one of the two holes in the twivel. Note
which hole the cables are in as you take the support off.
8. Reverse step 7 through step 1 to install the monitor support and its front panel.
9. Perform all RST and system checks to verify performance.
Cables
Most of the cables in the M2540A system pass through the lower enclosure’s central plenum.
You may have to remove the panels from the rear of the plenum when replacing a cable.
