Replace the Port Board

1

Disconnect NOVA from power

Ensure that NOVA is turned off with the power button and then unplug the power cable.

2

Remove the backplate

With a T20 Torx bit remove the 6 screws (2 on the back side, 4 on the bottom of the panel) securing the back panel. Once the screws are out you can pull the back panel out by tilting it up slightly and then pulling away from the machine.

3

Remove the port board

Start by unplugging the cables (2 ethernet, 1 power harness) that run from the port board to the main control board. You will need the 7mm socket to remove the grounding portion of the power harness.

Remove the two screws holding the port board in place on the side of NOVA with a T10 Torx bit.

Slide the port board out the back of NOVA while applying pressure inwards to keep the faceplate from scratching.

If the replacement port board did not come with a face plate, transfer over the faceplate from the old port board by removing the three screws.

4

Install the new port board

Slide the new port board in the same way keeping pressure applied inware to avoid scratching the faceplate and fasten the two screws to hold it in place.

Plug in the cables (2 ethernet, 1 power harness) that run from the port board to the main control board. If you removed the grounding mount reattach it with the 7mm socket.

5

Reattach the backplate

Put the back plate back into place and with a T20 Torx bit secure the 6 screws (2 on the back side, 4 on the bottom of the panel).

6

Turn NOVA back on!

You can now plug NOVA back in and turn it on using the power button.

Repair Complete!

Congratulations, you have successfully replaced NOVAs port board!

Please reach back out to our support team through email ([email protected]) or the chat to let them know everything went well. We will arrange a shipping label to return the old parts back to us for further testing.
