Removing the Front Bezel

You must remove the front bezel to add or replace a hard drive in one of the drive bays. It is not necessary to remove the front chassis cover or to power down the system. The hard drives are hot-swappable.

Follow these steps to remove the front bezel of the controller.

You need to remove the front bezel for tasks such as:

• Installing or removing hard disk drives or an SD flash card
• Observing the individual hard disk drive activity/fault indicators
• Replacing the control panel LED/switch board

The server does not have to be powered down just to remove the front bezel.

1. Loosen the captive bezel retention screw on the right side of the bezel (see A in Figure 154).
2. Rotate the bezel to the left to free it from the pins on the front panel (see B in Figure 154), and then remove it.
