  5. Lower the panel into place and allow it to hang flush against the chassis.

  6. Tighten the two captive screws at the panel base.

Fan Tray and Screen

Fan Tray Screen

  1. Loosen the four screws on the left and the four screws on the right of the fan tray screen (Figure 12-5).

To replace the fan tray screen, reverse these instructions.

Fan Tray

  2. Remove the power cable and fan fail cable.

    To keep the cables out of the way, feed them down through the opening below the fan tray area.

  3. Pull the fan tray back, tilting the top out so that it clears the chassis.

To replace the fan tray, reverse these instructions.

Stabilizer Bar

The cabinet has six levelling pads. Four pads on the cabinet frame are lowered to touch the floor and prevent the cabinet from rocking. Two levelling pads are part of the stabilizer bar and should not touch the floor.

  1. Extend the stabilizer bar fully from the bottom of the cabinet (Figure 12-6).

    Figure 12-6 Stabilizer Bar and Levelling Pads

    Graphic

  2. Screw the two stabilizer bar levelling pads down until they are 1/8- to 1/4-inch (3 to 6 mm) above the floor.

    Ensure both pads are at equal heights above the floor. This clearance allows the stabilizer bar to slide in and out easily, yet catch the cabinet if it should begin to tilt.


    Caution - Caution -

    Always extend the stabilizer bar before pulling the disk drive trays out for servicing.
