  • How do I open the front panel of a PCSERVER 520?

    I remember that the panel can be folded down toward the front. But I
    just can't remember how I did it. All I remember is that it was very
    easy and that I wanted to write down how I did it. Of course, I didn't
    write it down.

    The PCSERVER 520 user manual states on page 11 that the front panel can
    be opened with a key.

    This key position does not exist on my PCSERVER 520.

    I believe the PCSERVER 500 and PCSERVER 520 have the same housing and
    can therefore be opened in the same way.

    I'm at a loss. Can anyone help?

    The PDF shows the upper door with hinges on the left side.

    By panel, do you mean the entire front bezel, or th upper door that
    covers the CDROM and floppy?
