This document provides step-by-step instructions for replacing the front bezel on DIGITAL AlphaStation 500/255 Series System Enclosures. It emphasizes safety precautions, such as powering off the system, unplugging it, waiting for power supply capacitors to discharge, and wearing a grounded wrist strap before servicing.
The process is divided into three main stages:
- Opening the system enclosure: Involves turning off the system, unplugging it, waiting 15 seconds, unlocking the rear panel, removing the top cover, and then removing the two side panels.
- Installing the replacement bezel: Requires locating filler panels and decals, removing the floppy drive tray, carefully removing the old front bezel by de-activating its locking tabs, aligning the new bezel's pins and tabs with the chassis, and pushing it into place.
- Reinstallation of components: Details reattaching the floppy drive tray, side panels, and top cover, installing appropriate filler panels in the floppy drive bay, and applying the DIGITAL AlphaStation label to the bezel.
