Disassembling the Workstation

This figure shows a yellow triangle containing a zigzag downward arrow (high voltage symbol).

Caution: The workstation’s Power Supply Unit (PSU) contains a permanently-connected fuse in the neutral line. After a fuse operation, parts of the PSU remain energized and present a shock hazard as long as the AC power cord is connected. Always disconnect the AC power cord before opening the unit for service or configuration.

  

To disassemble the unit to access the system board and peripheral components:

  1. Remove all cables from the I/O Panel, including the DC power cable.
  2. Place a towel or soft cloth over your work surface to protect the touchscreen, and then place the workstation face-down on the surface.
  3. Loosen the security screws using a hex key. You do not need to fully remove the screws because they are captive.


    This figure shows the location of the security screws on the back of the Workstation 6.

  4. Gently lift the rear cover to avoid damaging the audio cables. You can disconnect the cables to detach the top cover.
  5. Loosen the two captive screws from the magnetic stripe reader.

  6. Gently lift the magnetic stripe reader to avoid damaging the 8-pin modular cable.
  7. Disconnect the 8-pin modular cable and the RFID tag interface cable. The RFID tag is factory-programmed with information specific to the workstation in which it is installed. The RFID tag is bonded to the Workstation 6 casework; do not attempt to remove it.
