Hard Drive Removal
1. If you are connected to TournaMAXX or TournaCHAMP, you must perform an Update From
Server before removing the hard drive so that no information is deleted.
2. Turn off and unplug the game.
3. Loosen the 2 screws on the underside of the control panel, then unlock and open the panel.
4. Remove the 2 screws holding the liquid catch pan in place on the electronics box and disconnect
the catch pan’s fan connection. Pull gently on the catch pan until it unsnaps at the drainage hole
and can be removed.
