C ­ Locking Tab Grasp the handle on the cover and slide the cover towards the rear of the chassis about an inch. Detach the cover from the tabs and slots along the edges of the chassis, and then lift it off the system. Releasing the cover Installing Options 4-5 Replacing the Cover Replace the cover as follows. Ensure that all cables inside the chassis are positioned to prevent crimping, abrasion, or cutting while installing the cover. Check that the ribbon cables are folded along their fold lines and out of the direct path of the cover. 1. Position the cover over the side of the chassis so that the back edge of the cover is about an inch beyond the back edge of the chassis (see the following figure). Align the tabs and slots on the cover with those along the edges of the chassis. Align the locking tab slot at the bottom rear of the cover with the locking tab. 2. 3.

To remove the front panel, proceed as follows. 1. 2. Remove the cover (see "Removing the Cover" earlier in this chapter). Working from within the chassis, unclip the two locking tabs from their slots on the edge of the chassis. Once the tabs are free, the front panel can be lowered like a door until the other tabs and posts on the panel are freed (see the following figure).
