Installing/Removing the BSU Front Bezel and Top Cover

To install options in your BSU, you should do the following.

!To modify the system baseboard, I/O riser card, add a processor, add a VRM, or add a removable media device, remove the front bezel and top cover.

!To add memory (DIMMs) remove the front bezel,memory board cover, and memory board.

!CAUTION

For proper cooling and airflow, do not operate the system with the top cover removed. Always replace it before powering on the system.

Do not damage or bend the EMI fingers that are located along the edges of the top cover, as you remove and install it, or your system may not meet EMI requirements.

!WARNING

If you are removing the front bezel or top cover after the system is set up, you must first power off the system and all external devices. Unplug the system power cords.

Removing the Front Bezel

You must remove the front bezel in order to remove the top cover on your BSU. To remove the front bezel, perform the following.

1.Observe the safety and ESD precautions listed at the beginning of this chapter.

2.If tower-based system remove the top cover of the tower cabinet and then go to step 4. See Removing the Top Cover of the Tower Cabinet earlier in this chapter.

3.Power off the system. Ensure the power cords are unplugged from the AC wall outlet.

4.Loosen the five thumbscrews securing the front bezel, see Figure 4-5.

Note: Your system's front bezel controls a power interlock switch directly behind the bezel, so that when the front bezel is removed power is shut down to the system for safety reasons.
