## Decommissioning/Removal from Service

The decommissioning procedure applies to P200 and P400/P400 Plus/P400 Dual MSR series PCI (Payment Card Industry) PTS (PIN Transaction Security) version 4.x POI-approved devices.

{% hint style="info" %}
Failure to use this decommission procedure causes non-compliance to the PCI PTS POI Modular Security Requirements version 4.0 approval of the device.
{% endhint %}

**To securely decommission the device:**

1. Prepare your tool. A #8 Phillips head screwdriver is necessary.
2. Ensure that the device is disconnected from power and any other cables.
3. Turn the device face down, exposing the rear of the device.
4. Using the Phillips head screwdriver, remove each of the eight screws. Four of the screws (screw numbers 3, 4, 5, and 6) are covered by the rear cable cover. You must remove the cable cover to access these screws.

   \
   Screw #4 is covered by a tamper-evident security label. Push the screwdriver through this label to access the screw.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.verifone.com/hardware-products/hardware/engage-devices/pxxx-series/p400/p400-p400-plus-p400-dual-msr-installation-guide/service-and-support.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
