Access to device components
To be able to replace certain device components, you must first gain access to the interior of the industrial PC.
To do this, follow the steps below as shown in Figure 31:
- 1. Pull the release handle (1) upward to release the housing cover lock (section A).
- 2. Pull the housing cover forward by the handle until it moves freely at the bottom (section B). While doing so, hold the cover firmly so that it does not fall off.
- 3. Guide the housing cover downwards out of the guides (section C).
- 4. Loosen the knurled screw (2) of the card holder (3) (section D).
- 5. Remove the card holder from the housing.
- You now have access to the interior of the industrial PC (section E).
To reinstall the card holder afterwards, follow the steps below, shown in Figure 32:
- 1. Release all plastic elements of the card holder (section A).
- 2. Place the card holder again in the slots provided in the industrial PC (section B).
- 3. Keep the card holder pressed onto the edge of the industrial PC while tightening the knurled screw again (section C).
- 4. For each plug-in card, press down the associated plastic element of the card holder until the plug-in card is firmly seated in its slot.
- You have mounted the card holder.
To reassemble the housing cover to the PC, you must push the inner hooks (1) of the housing cover into the guides (2) of the housing.
To do this, follow the steps below as shown in Figure 34:
- 1. Hold the cover inclined and place it below the housing (section A).
- 2. Push the cover up as far as possible, inserting the hooks of the cover into the guides of the housing (2) (section B).
- 3. Place the cover into a straight position against the housing until the release handle snaps back into place (section C).
- You have mounted the cover on the housing.
