how to get into top compartment of 11c cabinet?

[htroberts]

I have an option 11c I’d like to try to get running, just for fun. I didn’t think it came with a wall mounting bracket and was looking for one online, but moving the cabinet recently, I realized there’s one in the air vent space above the card cage.

It looks like you could push in a couple of tabs and pull the front trim piece off, but I’ve tried that and don’t want to push any harder for fear that I’ll break it.

I don’t think this space was intended to be opened in the field, but has anyone been able to remove that piece without breaking it?

Push the tab and flip up like a hinge if I remember right

Yes, just push in the 2 tabs and swing it up.

If the Option 11c cabinet can move right or left with the two mounting screws removed that are found bottom left and right inside the cabinet, then just lift it straight up!

in case the text wasn’t clear, I’m trying to remove the piece outlined in red from the rest of the cabinet.

I don't recall ever having to remove that top piece. I didn't think anything important was in there?.

You have 2 tab to push with a screwdriver and flip up

thanks, that confirms what it looked like. I had to push harder than I wanted to originally for fear of breaking it, but it did open and I got the bracket, plus a bonus QIC tape cartridge!
