Installing the Front Bezel Insert

NOTE: If you remove a drive from one or more of the front drive bays, replace the corresponding insert(s) on the front bezel.

1From the back of the bezel, align the insert tab with the corresponding notch on the bezel. Press the insert until the tab snaps into place.

See Figure 3-3.

2Replace the front bezel. See "Installing the Front Bezel" on page 86.

EMI Filler

Depending on the configuration of your system, an EMI filler may be installed in one or more of the 5.25-inch optical drive bays at the front of the system. EMI fillers are essential for airflow efficiency and for electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. To install an optical drive, the corresponding EMI filler must first be removed.

Removing an EMI Filler

1Remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on page 85.
