4. Use the old hardware to re-attach the monitor to the cabinet bracket (four places).
5. Install the new monitor bezel.
6. Clean and replace the glass display shield.
7. Replace the small retainer tab that secures the display shield in place.
8. Mount the monitor remote control board in a convenient location in the service tray.
9. Connect the monitor ground wire to a ground lug on the cabinet.
10. If the old monitor was powered with an AC isolation transformer, remove the transformer
from the cabinet. The new monitor will connect directly to the AC power strip, to be
installed in the next section.
Install the Cabinet Exhaust Fan
An exhaust fan is required to keep the temperature inside the cabinet cool enough for the
computer to operate properly.
If you experience blank screens or rebooting issues, this could be due to excessively high
temperatures inside the cabinet. Drilling more air holes in the lower rear of the cabinet, as
described in step 1 below, should improve airflow and reduce cabinet temperatures.
Perform the following steps to install the exhaust fan and drill air holes:
1. Using a 1/2" drill bit, drill six to eight air holes in the lower rear of the cabinet, as shown
in Figure 1. Be careful not to damage any wires or components while drilling.
6-8 1/2" Air Holes
Place low in cabinet. Position so as to
avoid drilling into wires or components.

2. Using a screwdriver, remove the metal or plastic grill covers that cover the ventilation
slots on the back of your cabinet. Push in on each corner of the metal grill and they will
pop out and fall to the bottom of the cabinet.
