Figure 12-1 Removing the Front Bezel

Removing the Top Front Bezel

1. Remove the key from the key switch.

2. Grasp the bezel on both sides at the top and pull the bezel away from the ball studs (Figure 12-1).

3. Set the bezel aside.

Replacing the Top Front Bezel

1. Place the bezel against the chassis with ball studs aligned with the catches on the bezel, and tap or press both sides of the bezel into place.

2. Insert the key into the key switch.

Front Door

Figure 12-2 Opening the Front Door

Opening the Front Door

The door is hinged on the left side. The door swings open if pulled firmly on the right side of the top panel.

Removing the Front Door

1. Remove the top bezel. See "Top Front Bezel".

2. Open the hinged door fully (past the bracket), and lift the door free of the bracket.

Rear Door and Kick Panel

If it is necessary to remove the rear door, pull out the two hinge pins (Figure 12-3) and lift the rear door away from the cabinet.

Interface cables should be placed behind the kick panel. To remove the kick panel, loosen the two captive screws.

Figure 12-3 Removing the Rear Door

Side Panels

To remove the side panels:

1. Loosen two slotted-head captive screws near the panel base.

2. Tilt the panel bottom out.

3. Lift the panel up until free of the tabs at the top of the chassis.

   To replace the side panels:

4. Place the panel against the cabinet so the notches on the panel inside align with tabs at the chassis top.

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).

   It is not necessary to completely remove the screws.

   Figure 12-5 Removing the Fan Tray Screen and Fan Tray

   
   

2. Lift the screen up until the slotted screw holes clear the screw heads.

To replace the fan tray screen, reverse these instructions.

Fan Tray

1. Loosen the two captive fasteners on the 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

   
   

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 -

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