The power controller monitors the power button on the front of the device, and coordinates activity
between the device’s embedded PC, main logic board, and power supply to properly power up and power
down the device. It is located in the bottom deck of the device and is attached – along with the backplane
that connects the main logic board to most of the device’s top-deck connectors – to a long tray that runs
along nearly the entire width of the device.

To remove the power controller and backplane, follow these steps:
1) Prepare the device for replacing parts by following the steps in section 4.1 How to Prepare the
Device for Removing / Re-installing Modules. At the end, the device should be powered down with
all external cables safely disconnected.
2) Open the top access door (see section 2.7 How to Open the Top Access Door). If you have
difficulty with the clearances within the device when performing this procedure, you may optionally
remove the entire cover by following the steps in section 4.4 How to Remove / Re-install the Cover.
3) Remove both side access doors by following the steps in section 4.3 How to Remove / Re-install the
Side Access Doors.
