Removing the Cell Cover

If you want to change cells or install a cooling accessory, you may need to remove the DSC cell cover. Follow these steps:

  1. Remove the lid(s). You can  either manually remove the lids for the DSC Q10 or select the Control/Lid/Open function to raise the Autolid from the Q100 or Q1000 cell and cause it to move out of the way.

  2. Remove the screws attaching the cell cover to the unit cover (circled in the figure below).  Three screws are located on the side (Q1000) and one is located on the top.  Retain the screws.

  3. Pull the plug on the side of the unit cover out to remove it.
