Removing and Replacing the Front Bezel

The front bezel provides server control and port access, and LED interfaces. You must power off the server to remove the front bezel.

NOTE: The procedures in this section see the upper portion of the front bezel; the lower portion of the front bezel is the processor access door.

Removing the Front Bezel

To remove the front bezel, follow these steps:

1.Power off the server and disconnect the power cables. See “Powering Off the Server” (page 95).

2.If rack installed, slide the server out from the rack until it stops. See “Extending the Server from the Rack” (page 180).

3.Remove the memory carrier assembly cover. See “Removing the Memory Carrier Assembly Cover” (page 183).

NOTE: You do not need to fully remove the top cover to service this component; however, the top cover release lever must be open. You must remove the memory carrier because it attaches directly to the processor board.

4.Remove the memory carrier assembly. See “Removing the Memory Carrier Assembly” (page 204).

5.Press the button located on top of the bezel and directly in front of the memory carrier assembly to release the processor board access door (Figure 6-18).

CAUTION: The processor board access door opens to approximately a 30 degree angle. Do not force the door to open to a greater angle. Failure to observe this caution results in damage to server components.

6.Use the processor board assembly access door as a handle and gently slide the assembly out of the chassis approximately six inches.

7.Remove the six screws that attach the bezel to the chassis (Figure 6-18).

8.Tilt the bezel away from the chassis (Figure 6-18).

9.Remove the plastic server label located to the right of the front panel LEDs.

a.Grasp the label, and pull it out until it stops.

b.Lift up on the notched retaining tab at the rear of the label until it clears the slot.

c.Pull the label completely out of the chassis.

IMPORTANT: You must reinstall the plastic server label into the replacement bezel.

10.Flip out the two pull handles located on both ends of the front bezel (Figure 6-18).

11.With pull handles open, slide the bezel to the right to release it from the chassis, and lift it off the chassis.
