Complete the following steps to remove the currently installed mezzanine board
from the instrument and install the Eye mezzanine board:
1. Set the instrument so the bottom is down on a static-free work surface.
2. Remove the top cover as follows:
a. Use a TORX-driver with a T-10 TORX tip to remove the thirteen screws
securing the cover to the instrument.
b. Slide the cover back and then lift it from the back to remove it from the
instrument; set the cover aside.
