how do you get the input/output modules out of the rack above the machine?


On the far right of each I/O panel, in the center of the righthand side, is
a hole with a hex screw inside it. Put the right hex tool (it's not the
same
one used for the head adjustments) in, and unscrew the screw as far as it
will
go. It's captive but at some point it just rattles around.

Then grab both knobs and pull hard and it will pop out. It is held in only
by the edge card connector but if it's been a decade since it was last
pulled
the connector might be kind of sticky. Cramolin it before you put it back
in
and next time will be easier.

Thanks, Scott, I didn't want to break anything.
