3.0 Product Disassembly Process
3.1 List the basic steps that should typically be followed to remove components and materials requiring selective treatment:
1. Remove thumb-screws (4) on the rear chassis assembly (see Attachment 1) and use handles to pull out the rear-
chassis assembly. Midway through pulling out the assembly, be sure to depress the side-latches on the left and right
side of the assembly. (See Attachment 2)
2. Locate the midplane on the rear-chassis assembly, and remove all the screws that connect the air-baffling mask to the
midplane (See Attachment 3). Remove the air-baffling mask.
3. Remove all the screws on the Midplane in order to remove the midplane assembly from the chassis. (See Attachment
4)
4. On the back side of the Midplane Assembly, unscrew the screws for attaching the Fan board PCBs (see Attachment
5). There are two fan boards to remove. (See yellow highlight).
5. Remove all the screws that connect the power board PCB to the bus-bar legs. (See Attachment 6)
6. The Midplane PCB can now be removed as well. Be sure to disconnect any cables attached to the Midplane.
7. Locate the LCD Transition board along the side of the main chassis. (See Attachment 7) Remove the designated
screws.
8. On the front of the main chassis, unscrew the designated screws and remove the panels. This should allow you to
disengage the LCD cable and remove the LCD display for disposal. (See Attachment 8)
9. Locate the screws that secure the panel that houses the LCD transition board. Remove the panel and remove the
LCD transition board PCB. (See Attachment 9)
10. Locate the LCD Paddle Board PCB on the rear cage. Remove the designated screws and remove the PCB. (See
Attachment 10)
11. Locate the Onboard Administrator Tray. Use the latch to remove the entire tray. Then, remove any Onboard
Administrator Modules that are in the tray. (See Attachment 11)
12. Remove the screw that is in the middle of the tray. Remove the corresponding panel, and you should find two PCBs to
remove: an Interposer Board PCB and a Link Board PCB. (See Attachment 12)
13. On the Onboard Administrator Module that was removed, depress the button in the center and remove the top panel.
(See Attachment 13) Remove the PCB and look for the Yellow battery. This battery can be removed from its
corresponding IC by using your fingers. (See Attachment 14)
