Power Module Replacement
In order to replace a power module in the XMP 2600, follow the next procedure:
Preparation
1) If you are about to replace a module or to install a new one, make sure you
have nearby the new module to be installed.
2) Place the XMP 2600 on a working table.
WARNING
Make sure that the unit is not connected to the mains! Opening a mainframe
connected to the mains may result in electric shock and personal hazard.
Open the unit
3) Turn the mainframe 90 degrees so the unit lays on it's left side, the ON/OFF
switch is close to the table's surface, and the bottom cover is accessible.
4) Remove the ten screws that secure the bottom cover (including four screws in
the mainframe legs') using a proper screwdriver.
5) Remove the bottom cover.
Remove the
module
6) Locate the power module to be replaced.
7) Disconnect the flat cable from the module.
8) Unscrew the three screws securing the power module's bottom.
9) Rotate the unit so the top cover becomes accessible.
10) Remove the ten screws that secure the top cover.
11) Remove the conical screw (near the fans) that secures the power module to be
removed.
12) Pull the module out gently, then shift it towards the fans. It will slide about one
cm (0.4"). Make sure the module's rear connector is free from the rear panel,
then pull the module out.

13) Push the new module in, then slide it gently so it's rear connector enters

15) Connect the flat cable to the module.

side of the module (near the fans) securing it tightly.
17) Near the fans, locate a small opening in the top side of the new module. Inside
you will note eight switches. Set them like the switches in the removed module,
so that the new module will appear in the same slot number as the old one.

question mark in the LCD display (in the front panel) at the place
corresponding to the replaced module (at the same address).
