Dot Hill Systems II 200 FC service manual Removing the Front Bezel and Ear Caps

7.5.1Removing the Front Bezel and Ear Caps

1.Use the provided key to unlock both bezel locks.

2.Grasp the front bezel cover on both sides and pull it forward and then down.

Note – For many operations, including replacing disk drives, it is not necessary to further detach the bezel, because dropping it down moves it sufficiently out of the way.

3.Press the right bezel arm (hinge) toward the left side to release it from the chassis hole. The left hinge also disengages.

4.Note the location of the chassis bezel holes on each ear.

5.Remove the plastic caps from the front left and right ears of the array. Both plastic caps are removed in the same way.

a.Squeeze both sides of the cap at the top and the bottom.

b.Turn the cap toward the center of the array until it disengages and pull it free.

7.5.2Placing the Bezel and Ear Caps Back Onto the Chassis

Each plastic cap is replaced in the same way, but be sure to place the cap with LED labels on the right ear.

1.Align the inside round notches of the cap with the round cylindrical posts (ball studs) on the ear.

2.Push the top and bottom of the ear cap onto the ear, pressing in on the top side toward the center of the array first.

3.Continue pushing the top and bottom of the ear cap onto the ear, pressing on the side toward the outside of the array.

Do not use force when placing a cap on an ear.
