Installing the Front Bezel

Use the steps below if your system includes either the standard front bezel or the front bezel for the Intel® Local Control Panel. The front bezel is optional.

1.At each end of the bezel, line up the center notch on the bezel with the center guide on the rack handles.

2.Push the bezel onto the front of the server system until it clicks into place.

3.Connect any necessary cables to the front control panel area at the right side of the server system.

Removing and Installing the Chassis Cover

Removing the Chassis Cover

The server system must be operated with the chassis cover in place to ensure proper cooling. You will need to remove the top cover to add or replace components inside of the server. Before removing the chassis cover, power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable.

Note: A nonskid surface or a stop behind the server system may be needed to prevent the server system from sliding on your work surface.

1.Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. See "“Safety Information”.

2.Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server.

3.Disconnect the AC power cord.

4.Remove the security screw if it is installed. See letter "A" in the figure below.
