How to disassemble an A4000T to upgrade? {shudder}

[marcfrick2112]

Hello all, well the title pretty much says it all... Obviously I know how to take the top/side panel off, but how do I get access to the other side, to remove screws holding HDD's , etc. so I can upgrade the RAM on the Cyberstorm?
 :nervous:

And I haven't even gotten the PAR or TBC 4 yet .....

Thanks for the info,   still need to figure out just how to remove some hard drives to get access to the CyberStorm. Sounds like I'll be calling the seller tommorow....

Hi everyone, Thanks much for the advice, I'm gonna print out the thread for reference, and brew some really strong coffee before working on the beast. Just wish the previous owner would've maxed out the RAM on the CS .... [grumble, mutter]

  :roll:

everyone, well... all that I had the bravery to do today was to install 16MB on the 4000T's motherboard, and I had to remove the Toaster and Flyer to get at the third SIMM socket... sheesh.

Crom00: Sorry to hear that. I hear too many stories like this

@Boot WB, and anyone else: Got 'cold feet' thinking about unplugging all the HDD cables... I didn't want to mess anything up, so I just left the CyberStorm alone for tonight... I think I have a CyberStorm Mk-III, going from the BBOAH ... Am I correct in assuming that there are no jumpers for SIMM sizes on this board ( I couldn't see any), and SIMMs have to be added in matched pairs?? Can SIMM sizes be mixed??
If anyone could clarify, I would be eternally grateful ... Googling tonight didn't help much. If there is anyway to upgrade the CS to 128MB without taking the 4000T totally apart, it would save aggravation, not to mention my nerves .... (nothing like getting another Amiga to make someone feel like a newbie again)
 :-D
(And yes my machine works fine... except the stupid 'Turbo' button doesn't turn the internal speaker on!)
