Removing and installing the bezel assembly
The BladeCenter T unit comes with a bezel assembly containing a removable and
replaceable air filter. There are software features in the management-module that
detect a clogged filter and generate system alerts based on the severity of the
airflow reduction. The typical service interval for the filter is approximately three to
six months depending on your environment. Be sure to replace the air filter when
indicated.

Important: If the BladeCenter T unit contains any blade servers with standard

(high-profile) release levers, the bezel assembly will not fit on the chassis. The
bezel assembly and air filter can be used only if all blade servers in the chassis
have low-profile release levers.
See “Removing and installing the bezel air filter” on page 44 for instructions for
removing and replacing the bezel air filter.
