Identifying the Hood Lock Installation Location
The following illustration shows the hood lock installation location.
Connecting the Hood Sensor
The hood sensor cable on some workstations, such as the xw6200 and xw8200, does not connect to the
system board. Instead, the hood sensor cable connects to the front control panel cable. The front control
panel cable is located beneath the hard drive cage.
