Here's Microsoft's own video on this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2oJw1a_qEM

At 43 seconds you can see the control panel.
At 59 seconds you can see the Do-more PLC plain as day
Then you can see the rack is rotated and placed in the underwater tank.

Very cool!  :)

Wow...suddenly reliability becomes super relevant. It appears to be lying on its side, so cooling shouldn't an issue, as long as the whole enclosure stays cool enough.
