Installing or replacing the fascia

During the initial installation process or after you perform service, you can install the fascia components on the front of a 5U expansion enclosure.

About this task

The 4U fascia covers the display panel of the expansion enclosure. It is attached to the enclosure by four screws. The bottom 1U fascia covers both of the power supply units (PSUs) on the enclosure. As Figure 1 shows, the fascias are independent; you can remove or replace one without having to remove or replace the other.

Note: When the expansion enclosure is shipped, the 4U and 1U fascia are not installed. You must install them as part of the initial installation process.

1. Use the slide rails to pull the enclosure out of the rack.

Attach the front (4U) fascia

2. Align the front 4U fascia with the enclosure so that the thumbscrews go through the holes on each side. As Figure 2 shows, this action aligns the screw holes on the back of the fascia with the screw holes on the front flange of the enclosure.
3. Replace the four screws to reattach the 4U fascia. Secure the screws from the back of the flange and into the rear of the fascia. Each side of the 4U fascia contains two screws.

Attach the bottom (1U) fascia

4. Reattach the bottom 1U fascia that covers the power supply units (PSUs). Align the fascia with the enclosure and gently push it until it clicks into place on the chassis, as shown in Figure 2.

   Align the tab on each side of the 1U fascia with the corresponding slots on the enclosure flange. Pins on each flange must also align with a hole in each side of the 1U fascia.
