Step 1. Remove Chassis Cover

To make the installation of port module easy, the top cover is made in two parts called “front-top” and “rear-top”. There are 6 screws located on front- top of the unit and two screws each on the left and right edges. Remove these screws. Once these are removed, the front-top cover is easily lifted off the chassis base.

When the front-top cover has been removed, the front-interior is exposed.
