The 331X232ACG has a silver colored housing with several openings to release heat. The front panel is split into two separate doors. Both doors are hinged to allow operators to access the interior of the drive. The larger, lower door of the drive also has a smaller locking panel that can be opened without opening the primary door. The openings are also located to allow for access to interior components that may need to be adjusted more frequently. The interior of the drive includes several fuses as well as many wire connections. If the drive begins to experience intermittent failures, wires should be checked to make sure good connection is being made. Heat sinks are also located on the interior of the machine to aid with proper operation.
