Overview

This document contains step-by-step disassembly instructions for the Cyclops (iMedia) chassis. The instructions are illustrated where necessary with images of the part that is being removed or disassembled. Furthermore, the screws that are removed are shown next to the image of the parts themselves.
Packard Bell reserves the right to make changes to the Cyclops (iMedia) chassis without notice.

Technician Notes

Only technicians authorized by NEC Computers International BV should attempt to repair this equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow only subassembly/module level repair. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. Any indication of component replacement or printed wiring board modifications may void any warranty or exchange allowances.

Disassembly Instructions

3
When disassembling the system unit, follow these general rules:
Do not disassemble the system into parts that are smaller than those specified in the instructions.  Label all removed connectors. Note where the connector goes and in what position it was
installed.
Turn off the power and disconnect all power and all options.

Reassembly Instructions

Reassembly is the reverse of the disassembly process. Use care to ensure that all cables and screws are returned to their proper positions. Check that no tools or any loose parts have been left inside the chassis. Check that everything is properly installed and tightened.

Required Tools

All disassembly procedures can be performed using the following tools:
Philips (#2 bit) screwdriver

Hazardous Voltage!

There is hazardous voltage present inside the computer when it is connected to an AC supply, even when the computer’s power switch is off. Exposure to hazardous voltage could cause personal injury. To avoid risk of injury, contact an Authorized Service Provider for proper (un)installation of optional hardware devices.

Avoid Electrostatic Discharge!

Electrostatic electricity can easily damage circuit cards and integrated circuits (ICs). To reduce risk of damage, store them in protective packaging whenever they are not installed in your system.
Add-in cards can be extremely sensitive to ESD and always require careful handling. After removing the card from the computer, place the card flat on a grounded, static-free surface, component-side up. Use a conductive foam pad if available, but not the card wrapper. Do not slide the card over any surface.
Before you install or remove memory modules, video memory, disk drives, circuit cards or other devices, protect them from static electricity. To do so, make sure your computer’s power switch is OFF. Then, unplug the computer’s AC power cord. Before picking up the device you (un)install, you should wear an anti-static wrist wrap (available at electronic supply stores). Be sure to connect the wrist wrap to an unpainted metal portion of the computer chassis. As an alternative, you can dissipate electrostatic build­up by touching an unpainted metal portion of the computer chassis with one hand. Then touch the device you are (un)installing with the other hand, and maintain continuous contact with it until it is (un)installed in the computer.

Power Supply Unit!

Under no circumstances should you attempt to disassemble the power supply. The power supply contains no user-serviceable parts. Inside the power supply are hazardous voltages that can cause serious personal injury. Always return a defective power supply to your dealer.
