This appendix tells you how to remove the SPARCstation 2 system cover.
The top cover attaches to the chassis at the front with molded plastic tabs.
When you push the cover forward, you release the front of the cover from its
points of attachment to the chassis.
Before you begin the procedure below, be sure that the power switch on the
back panel is turned off and that the power cord remains plugged into an
alternating current power outlet.
1. Place the system unit on a work table.
2. Remove the top cover from the system unit:
a. Remove the two screws holding the cover to the back panel.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws. See Figure A-1 for
screw locations.
b. Grasp the sides of the cover from the rear and tilt the cover until the
protector loop clears the chassis.
See Figure A-2.
c. Gently push the cover towards the front about one-half inch (13 mm)
so that the plastic tabs clear the chassis.
See Figure A-2.
d. Remove the cover by lifting vertically.
See Figure A-2.
Caution - The plastic tabs at the bottom of the top cover are fragile. Be sure
the tabs clear the chassis before removing the cover.
