DANGER:

Be sure to turn the key switch to the Forced Off position before handling any
internal components. Otherwise, it is possible for a user to restart the
system remotely while you are working inside it. The Forced Off position is
the only key switch position that prevents a Remote System Control (RSC)
user from restarting the system.

5. Turn off the system monitor.

6. Turn off any external SCSI devices, starting with the device that is closest to the

system and working toward the farthest device.
