Replacing the Chassis Cover

Caution Do not operate the adaptive security appliance without the chassis cover installed. The chassis cover protects the internal components, prevents electrical shorts, and provides proper air-flow for cooling the electronic components.

To replace the chassis cover on the adaptive security appliance, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Place the chassis on a secure surface with the front panel facing you.

Step 2 Hold the chassis cover so that the rear of the chassis cover are aligned with the chassis bottom.

Step 3 Lower the front of the cover onto the chassis, making sure that the side tabs of the cover fit under the side panels of the chassis.

Step 4 Slide the chassis cover toward the front, making sure that the cover tabs fit under the back panel, and the back panel tabs fit under the chassis cover.

Step 5 Secure the chassis cover with the screw you set aside earlier.

Step 6 Reconnect the network interface cables.

Step 7 Reconnect the power cord to the power outlet to power on the adaptive security appliance.
