Opening the ASM-60 Case

To open the ASM-60 case:

1.Disconnect the power cord from the power source.

2.Slide the blue side panel forward to detach it from the case.

3.Unscrew the two screws located on the bottom panel at the rear end of the unit.

4.Separate the two halves of the ASM-60 case by lifting the top cover at the end of the unit and sliding it forward.

Closing the ASM-60 Case

After completing the internal settings, close the unit case.

To close the ASM-60 case:

1.Position the lower half of the ASM-60 case on the flat surface.

2.Return the top cover. Make sure that the front board CONTROL DCE connector fits the front panel opening correctly, and the top cover guides enter the corresponding recesses at the end of the unit.

3.Secure the two screws located at the end of the unit.

4.Fit the inside tabs of the blue side panel into the unit case grooves, and slide the side panel until it snaps into place.
