Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, electronic components, and other parts.
Avid recommends that you perform all procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If
one is not available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to
chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface) on your Engine when handling parts.
Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold electronic boards
only by their edges. After removing a board from its protective wrapper, place the board
component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but
not the wrapper. Do not slide the board over any surface.
Removing and Installing the System Cover
To remove the top cover:
1. Observe the safety precautions described in “Electrostatic Discharge Precautions” on
page 28.
2. Make sure the Engine is powered off and all peripheral devices and AC power cords are
disconnected.
3. Remove the four top cover screws shown in the following illustration.
4. Completely loosen the captive thumb screws on the back of the Engine.
5. Pull the two pull tabs on the sides of the cover outward and lift the cover off the system.
