b. Separate the chassis and cover by placing a screw driver into the extraction

slots and twisting.

Note: To remove the chassis from the cover, gently pry the chassis and cover
away from each other.


c. A ribbon connection between the front panel and the main PCB will allow

for the removal of the chassis without disconnecting the front panel.
