Remove the User Interface

1. Using the Phillips screwdriver, remove the two M5 screws securing the I/O panel below the 

Smartswitch User Interface. The panel should now open by folding downward.

2. Remove the ground wire from the spade on the I/O card.

3. Disconnect all other cable connections that are preventing the panel from being removed.

4. Label all remaining wires.

5. Remove the I/O panel. This panel is no longer needed and can be discarded.

6. Remove any remaining adhesive-back cable mounts.

7. Remove the four 8-32 x 3/8 inch screws that secure the User Interface to the rear of the SmartSwitch 

enclosure. Set the screws aside; they will be reused to secure the new User Interface to the same 
location in the panel.

8. Remove the User Interface from the SmartSwitch panel. The User Interface is no longer needed and 

can be discarded.
