Removing the Front Panel Display

CAUTION: This library contains very sensitive electronic components. It is important to follow the proper procedures for preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use wrist-grounding straps and antistatic mats when removing and replacing the major assemblies.

Failure to follow proper procedures could damage the circuitry.

  1. Power off the library.
  2. Remove the display cover by removing the two Phillips head 6-32 screws and the four Phillips head 6-32 machine screws that connect each chin plate underneath the display on the existing library module. The screw locations are indicated in Figure 1 "Removing the Chin Plate and Front Cover."
  3. Remove the display cover by lifting it up and away from the library.
