Opening the System 5000 Host
To open the Altos System 5000 and install the memory and circuit cards, you will need a # 2
Phillips screwdriver and a .25I nut driver. Once you have these tools, perform the following steps:
CAUTION
1. Make sure the ac power cord is not connected to the System
5000 before opening the computer and attempting to perform
any field installation activity.
2. To prevent static discharges that may damage the hardware,
wear a ground strap or otherwise ground yourself to the
chassis before opening the computer and installing any circuit
cards.
1. Using the # 2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two screw-type fasteners (locking pins) that
secure the cover to the chassis. The fasteners are located on the rear panel near the right
