Preservation and installation notes

Match the case and all internal assemblies by model suffix and board/drive revision; do not substitute visually similar generations.

  • Photograph the complete model label, assembly revision and option identifiers before opening; keep matching covers, brackets, shields, trays and fasteners together.
  • Before energizing any restored unit, check the period service procedure, insulation and PSU condition. A CRT system can retain hazardous voltage; use a qualified technician for CRT service.
