NEC PowerMate CT manual Removing or Replacing a Bay Cover, Removing a 5 1/4-Inch Device Bay Cover

Removing or Replacing a Bay Cover

If the system has an empty 5 1/4-inch device bay, it is covered with a special bay cover. This cover physically protects the inside of the chassis, and its metal shielding also offers EMF protection.

See the following sections for information on removing or replacing a bay cover.

Removing a Bay Cover

Remove a bay cover as follows.

1.Remove the system cover and front panel, if not already removed (see “System Covers”).

2.Press the tabs on either side of the cover toward each other until they are released from their slots. The tabs are at the end of the rails inside the chassis.

3.Still holding the tabs, slowly slide the cover out along the rails. As soon as the cover is free of the chassis, the cover and the rails disassemble.

4.Use these rails on the new 5 1/4-inch device if its rails are the wrong type (see “Removing or Installing Device Rails”).

If the device already has the right type of rails, set aside the rails you just removed for future use.

Note Always keep unused rails; the bay cover cannot be replaced if there are no rails within the bay.
